Learning Resources Interlocking Plastic Cuisenaire Rods Small Group Set (Set of 155)

My five year old boy loves 'playing' with these rods. I bought a range of maths equipment to use with him at home and these were by far the most popular. (They were so popular that I had to buy some more when the dog ate one of the single white blocks leaving him with only 49!)

These are great They can be connected for addition and are split into squares to show their amount. I use them when working with pupils with special needs and they are a great concrete tool for addition, subtraction and recognising quantities and comparing them.

The blocks are really good to help children with counting especially for kids with additional needs. I am really happy with the product and my daughter loves learning with them.

Bit pricey (hence the 4 stars) but a useful learning resource. I bought for my 5 yr old & he loves them...aside from helping him visualise times tables or addition he like to play with them too ! So all round good but.

I went for this product as it had many pieces but was not happy to discover they do not all dismantle to use as you like. They have set cubicles which is not easy/quick to read /pick ( would had been great if they had black or white marks to differentiate them). They are also quite small on size. Nice to have them all in a bucket though. If I had to choose a product again I would go for a different one.

This was very useful in helping my daughter understand number bonds. Note using it for HTU work, and helping her to visualise the process

Brilliant to help with my daughters maths ks1

Good value and useful teaching aud

These are great for teaching about money (counting by 5's, 10's). Also will use for multiplication, adding, etc. Great product.

J'ai ouvert le seau aujourd'hui pour ma fille de bientôt 3ans. Elle a aimé compter un peu les carrés et les imbriquer. Il y a assez de barres de 10aine (oranges) pour faire 100, et bien-sûr plein de petits 1 et autres. Je trouve que les concepts d'additions et soustractions semblent plus abordables avec ces pièces a ajouter ou ôter d'une tour pour comprendre ce que cela représente. Tout comme apprendre a denombrer plutôt que juste compter comme fait ma fille le plus souvent, je sens qu'elle comprend mieux que cela représente quelque chose en quantité aussi d'énoncer un chiffre. Bref top pour les enfants et même pour juste jouer, construire etc cela semble bien lui plaire.

These colorful blocks really helped my child with multiplication and skip counting. Highly recommended for any child that needs a hands on visual aid while learning their math facts!

Points forts: - Quantité et diversité des barres permettant de nombreuses combinaisons - Correspondance entre la taille et la couleur des barres - Barres graduées sur un seul côté : permet de vérifier la taille de la barre sans pour autant être trop visible ce qui inciterait à énumérer systématiquement. - Barres emboitables facilitant la manipulation et la comparaison des tailles. Points faibles: - Les barres blanche de taille 1 sont plus dures que les autres à emboiter (moins de jeu), en plus de leur petite taille : il faut donc forcer et c'est quasiment impossible pour les jeunes enfants. - Les barres blanche de taille 1 sont légèrement plus petite : par exemple, si on en empile 4, le total sera quelques millimètres plus petits la barre de 4, ce qui apporte de l'incohérence.

Good quality
