For more than 50 years Cuisenaire Rods have been helping children visualize essential math concepts from the very basics like counting to learning addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions and decimals, measurement and equivalencies even basic algebra. A cuisenaire set is one of the math products that will help your child for many years. Connecting rods follow in the tradition of Cuisenaire but enable younger children to use the rods in a more mobile manner. As a small white square measures 1cm it is a natural progression that a lot of children use the connecting rods as a sort of home made rule where they can measure small items. In addition to the 74 coloured connecting rods each set contains a storage tray and ideas guide to get you started on your Cuisenaire journey.
