Mathematics Made Meaningful
Cuisenaire Rods are a favorite math manipulative as math models can be made to help you “see” every math concept. This kit of 155 sturdy plastic rods comes in a self-sorting tray (thank goodness!) and holds enough rods for 3 children to use at the same time. Helpful poster shows how to use the rods to teach all the basic skills (addition, subtraction, fractions, etc.) from kindergarten up. 80-page teacher’s manual goes through step-by-step introduction for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with the rods. 50 large activity cards cover preschool introductory game activities through junior high math concepts. A fun way to play around with math, as well as a serious manipulative to help young ones understand skills taught in math textbooks. |
