Child's Play Maths: Unit 1 - About Cuisenaire Rods

‘About Cuisenaire Rods’ is the first video in the series supporting the Child’s Play Maths programme.

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

The programme itself adopts a radical and practical approach to the introduction and teaching of maths 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 programme is designed to introduce maths 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 maths can also be utilised as an effective ‘catch up’ program for children and adults who failed to grasp maths 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.
