The Number Rods, also known as the Red and Blue Rods, are the first numerical activity introduced in a Montessori classroom. These rods provide children with a hands-on approach to learning numbers by representing quantities from 1 to 10 in a concrete and visual manner.
Features & Benefits
- Hands-On Learning – Helps children visualize and understand numbers through physical manipulation.
- Incremental Sizing – The first rod starts at 10 cm, increasing by 10 cm for each subsequent rod until the tenth rod reaches 1 meter (100 cm).
- Mathematical Foundation – Encourages understanding of number sequencing, counting, basic arithmetic, and combinations of 10.
- Self-Correction – The rods allow children to identify mistakes and correct them independently.
- Durable & Safe – Made from solid MDF and coated with a matte eco-friendly lacquer to prevent chipping and ensure long-lasting use.
