MisH Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 We are almost finished with the first Ronit Bird math ebook (Exploring Numbers Through Dot Patterns) and, I feel like, my boys are doing quite well!! So, in my attempt to plan ahead, I am ordering / downloading the next book - Exploring Numbers Through Cuisenaire Rods. I suspect (hope?!?) that this one will 1) be more difficult and, therefore, 2) take longer to get through. I also kinda think that I will need two sets of rods - one for each of my boys. If you are using Cuisenaire Rods, where did you get them? Are they all the same - length, color, etc (e.g., if I order from Amazon are the rods the same as if I order from nest learning, etc???).

Bright Light Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Oxford University Press, Amazon, local teaching store (there were wood and plastic ones where I shop). They are also called "number rods". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Light Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think most of them are 1 to 10 centimeters in length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
displace Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Amazon sells buckets of wood or plastic. Some plastic ones may be slightly different lengths or warped and not stack well. MUS "c-rods" are different colors than traditional c-rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 ETA Hand2Mind is my go-to for manipulatives. I know that they're well-made and accurate. Stuff on clearance is often very, very cheap. That and secondhand stores. I've gotten some great sets for next to nothing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I have cheap plastic ones in a tub and nice wood one from ETA. Sneak a peak at RB's FB page and see what she uses. Congrats on your progress!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
