In our grade three classroom, we've started using cuisenaire rods with some of our math activities! These colourful rods have become invaluable tools for understanding proportionality, fractions, multiplication, and addition in a hands-on and engaging way. As we explore the concept of proportionality, students are able to visually grasp the relationship between different rod lengths and their corresponding values, laying a solid foundation for more complex mathematical concepts. Recently, we celebrated our 100th day of school by creating a smiley face using exactly cuisenaire rods worth exactly 100, reinforcing our understanding of number sense and place value in a fun and creative manner. It's always fun to see numbers and values represented in unique and entertaining ways! Comments are closed.
