Cuisenaire Rods Introductory Set
In the 1980s, when widespread homeschooling in the USA was still in its infancy, I read of a homeschooling mom in Ireland who used multi-colored, multi-length rods to teach her children a variety of mathematical concepts. Using rods in an assortment of ten bright colors to depict numerical values, her children could easily see a multitude of mathematical concepts as they manipulated the rods.

Versatile Mathematical Manipulative!
The process made perfect sense to me, and I knew our children would benefit from such a versatile mathematical manipulative. After a bit of investigative work, I discovered Cuisenaire Rods and we have been enthusiasts ever since. For over fifty years, Cuisenaire Rods have been used to teach a wide variety of mathematical topics such as the basic four operations, fractions, area, solving simple equations, and more.

Preschool Through Eighth Grade
Used in classrooms around the world, this essential learning tool is suitable for preschoolers and on through eighth grade. Set of plastic rods contains seventy-four rods (the smallest rod is a one cm cube, the largest is ten cm long), tray with lid, and an activity guide.

    Every Homeschool should have these! July 31, 2009
    Reviewer: Sandra Dumas from Boynton Beac, FL United States  
    We used these my son was in first grade.  Later, I got rid of them in a frantic effort to clean out clutter in my house.  A few days later my son was looking for them and became quite disturbed that his math rods had been given away!  Apparently they made a great impression on him, and he really dislikes the plastic rods I replaced them with.   Maybe your kids will like cuisenaire rods as much as my son does.  Timberdoodle's are wooden and that makes a big difference.

    Cuisenaire Alphabet Book, and Cuisenaire Rods July 31, 2009
    Reviewer: Amy J. from Austin, TX  
    All of my children have eagerly used the Alphabet book, and the rods are in constant use- so much so that we have lost some units. I purchased a second set so we'd have plenty to go around.

    My daughter likes them, my son LOVES them! July 31, 2009
    Reviewer: Wendy F. from Powder Springs, GA  
    My daughter (8) likes the Cuisenaire Rods, but my son (6) loves them.  They are exactly what he needed to draw him into learning.  He is very hands on and looks forward to working with them everyday.  He will ask if he can do his schoolwork again later in the same day.  It really brings out his creativity while allowing him to be busy with his hands.  I would recommend these to anyone.
