Cuisenaire® Rods Introductory Set, Wood, Set of 74

Cuisenaire Rods help students connect abstract ideas on figures and shapes with what students can see and touch. They make internalization of mathematical ideas easier, and often allow students to understand and solve problems that might not be solved by themselves. It provides an infinite opportunity to introduce, investigate and strengthen important mathematical topics such as addition, subtraction, geometry, measurement, multiplication, division etc.

Ideal for searching integer, fraction, measured value, ratio, area, perimeter, symmetry, congruence, 3D geometry, pattern, function

Quijnea rod comes in 10 colors - white, red, green, purple, yellow, dark green, black, brown, blue, orange

Each color and bar corresponds to a specific length from 1 cm to 10 cm - Orange - 10 cm, Blue 9 cm, Brown 8 cm, Black 7 cm, Dark Green 6 cm, Yellow - 5 cm, Purple - 4 cm, Green - 3 cm, Red 2 cm, white -1 cm

Choose a red Cuisenaire stick and indicate that the difference between the blue stick and the black stick is a red Cuisenaire stick. If you make the students find another pair of poles, the difference is just a red pole. Work the students for a few minutes, then have them share the results. What patterns did they notice? What are their predictions? Let the students make staircases of various colors from last time. Once they build it, display the card on the next page and ask which cards explain the longest Cuisenaire bar line problem. In order to show students the structure, read all 10 cards in turn (1 orange, 2 blue, etc.). Then select the first two cards and ask if 1 orange or 2 blue will be longer. Let the students guess at first, then build lines they make from others and compare. Then repeat the blues contrast three times Brown twice

Cuisenaire Rods inspired children's interest in mathematics through crisp survey and visual and practical confirmation of mathematical concepts. I read the information about the stick for the first time in the 1980s. Because I like them very much, me and his three children used them with their early elementary school when they were young. They all begin by learning the poetry of Cuisenaire to determine the value of each pillar. Paul teaches concepts and is very useful for starting mathematical operations. I found them useful especially for multiplication and scoring. Oh, we are making suit with dry beans, forks, shells, and buttons, but I am using colorful Cuisenaire sticks to show things most conveniently and logically on black paper. And white!
