{"product_id":"montessori-number-rods","title":"Montessori Number Rods","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Montessori number rods are one of the first math materials children work with, giving quantity a physical form they can see, carry, and compare. Each rod is divided into alternating red and blue segments, with the shortest rod representing one unit and the longest representing ten. Children arrange the rods in stair order, count the segments, and begin to feel the difference between quantities in a way that no worksheet can replicate. This home edition features rods scaled for table work, making it ideal for home use and smaller spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 rods in alternating red and blue segments, 1 through 10 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid wood with non-toxic paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRods range from 2.5 to 25 cm in length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact home edition sized for table work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eEducational Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA foundational Montessori math material that makes quantity concrete and visible, building the number sense that all later math work depends on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity recognition and number sense 1 through 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne to one correspondence and counting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisual and physical comparison of more and less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequencing and ordinal number concepts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoundation for addition and subtraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWays to Play\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrange the rods in stair order from shortest to longest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCount the segments on each rod and match to the numeral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombine two rods and count the total segments together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose eyes and order the rods by length using touch alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Oliver \u0026 Company Montessori Toys","offers":[{"title":"Number Rods","offer_id":52319850856749,"sku":"32871698962-Default Title","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/2601\/8605\/files\/HTB1xdAWfmMmBKNjSZTEq6ysKpXas.webp?v=1787730224","url":"https:\/\/olivermontessori.com\/products\/montessori-number-rods","provider":"Oliver \u0026 Company Montessori Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
