Arithmetic Rods

The Montessori Premium Arithmetic Rods are an essential part of Montessori education and offer children a unique and interactive way to familiarize themselves with the basic principles of mathematics. This set consists of 10 wooden rods, varying in length from 10 cm to an impressive 100 cm, visually representing the quantities from one to ten. Each rod is carefully designed with alternating red and blue segments of 10 cm each to provide a clear visual distinction and an attractive learning experience.

From the very first introduction to numbers in a Montessori classroom, the Numeric Rods play a crucial role. They are not only a tool for learning to recognize the numbers one to ten but also encourage the understanding of numerical sequences, making tens combinations, and the basics of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The progressive increase in the rods, starting at 10 cm and extending to 100 cm, makes the concept of quantity tangible and understandable for young learners.

These arithmetic rods are made of solid wood and finished with a matte, environmentally friendly lacquer that ensures durability and is safe for children's hands. The smooth finish prevents chipping and ensures a long lifespan of this high-quality educational toy.

Special wooden numeral tiles, available separately, complement the set and offer additional opportunities for numerical exercises, thereby further enhancing educational value. By arranging and manipulating the rods, children learn not only the value of numbers but also the relationships between different numbers and the concept of size.

Senso-Care is proud to offer these Montessori Premium Arithmetic Rods, which, like all our wooden products, are FSC-certified. This means they not only contribute to the development of children but are also manufactured with respect for our planet.
