Small set of number rods made of quality timber, with tiles, introduces quantity 1-10 and basic arithmetic. Package size: 37cm x 18cm x 4cm, 1.38kg. This small set of number rods is made of quality timber and comes stored in a neat timber box inclusive of numerical tiles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese rods are designed for individual work at a table. The \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber Rods introduce the child to quantity 1-10 and their corresponding number names. Through exploration with the material, the child also develops concepts in sequence of number, combinations of 10 and basic arithmetic. The material consists of 2 sets of 10 wooden rods, divided into units by alternating colours of red and blue, progressing in 10 equal steps. With this material children can conclude that the sum of numbers up to the nth number, for any n, is always (n2+n)\/2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePackage Size and Weight: 37cm x 18cm x 4cm, 1.38kg\u003cbr\u003e This is an Authentic Genuine Montessori material, it is a teaching aid, not a \"Montessori toy\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eRecommended Age Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTypically introduced between 3–6 years for foundational numeracy; extended use in 6–12 for advanced concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eKey Learning Outcomes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcrete understanding of quantity and symbol.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to place value, operations, and sequencing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndirect preparation for arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003ePurpose of the Material\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo offer children a tangible experience of mathematical concepts, moving from hands-on work to abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eHow It’s Used\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduce the material with a clear, focused demonstration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuide the child to explore step by step.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourage repetition to build confidence and internalisation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtend to operations or variations when ready.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eHow to Present the Activity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvite the child to work with you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemonstrate carefully and slowly, naming each step.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsolate one difficulty at a time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffer the work to the child and observe quietly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eExtensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduce related maths materials for deeper exploration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombine with language lessons for integrated learning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourage games that apply the concept in daily life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eTips for Home Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse consistent language for mathematical concepts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow repetition without correction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake maths concrete with daily objects (measuring, cooking, counting).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Safety Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAlways exercise extreme caution and care, never leave a child unattended and without adequate supervision with any of the equipment or material advertised on our website and catalogue.
