Description
Coloured Rods or Cuisenaire™ Rods are often underutilised in schools. Get the most from this simple but effective resource with this new Dr Paul Swan book. There are sections on early number as well as algebra, the development of fraction concepts and tasks that make you think or reason about mathematics.
