Child's Play Math: Unit 2 - Cuisenaire Rods and the Traditional Approach to Teaching Math

‘Cuisenaire Rods and the Traditional Approach to Teaching Math’ is the second video in the series supporting the Child’s Play Math program.

The series is comprised of over 60 videos and follows the program outlined in Child’s Play Math 1 & 2 providing practical tutorials using the accompanying software.

The program itself adopts a radical and practical approach to the introduction and teaching of math concepts. Understanding is achieved through play, games and open ended tasks and challenges.
It utilises Cuisenaire rods recognised as the most complete arithmetic manipulative ever devised.
The program is designed to introduce math to young children of around 5 years but can equally be introduced at any time ideally between the ages of 5 to 11.

Because of its unique approach that embraces all the learning styles children are invariably able to grasp concepts generally considered ‘too difficult’ for their age.
Child’s Play Math can also be utilised as an effective ‘catch up’ program for children and adults who failed to grasp math the first time round.

The first two videos are available for free.
The remaining videos will be made available in sets of four with the accompanying Power Point Presentations.
