Number Rods | Montessori | Mathematics Activity

Number rods are a classic Montessori material used to introduce children to the concept of quantity and length. Each rod represents a number, typically from 1 to 10, and they vary in length corresponding to their numerical value. Children learn to associate quantity with the numerical symbol and develop a sense of order and sequence. They can use the rods for various activities like counting, ordering, and even basic addition and subtraction. It's a hands-on way to make abstract mathematical concepts tangible and accessible to young learners.
