Cuisenaire Rods have been an essential tool in promoting hands-on learning. This versatile manipulative provides seemingly endless opportunities to introduce math concepts such as basic operations, geometry, measurement, and more.

Connecting Cuisenaire Rods are similar to classic Cuisenaire Rods with the added benefit of connecting. Younger students will be better able to understand addition and subtraction by connecting rod trains, while older students will have greater success modeling multiplication, division, and fractions.
