10 wooden rods varying in length from 10 centimeters to 1 meter. Each rod is
colored in an alternating red and blue pattern. The first rod is re. The second, which
is 20 centimeters divided in to 10 centimeters sections, is red and blue. The rods go
on until the last rod is divided into 10 sections that are red-blue-red-blue-red-
blue-red-blue-red-blue.
Exercise 1:
Have your child mix the rods on a mat. Let him or her build them into a stair like the red rods,
starting from the shortest to longest with the red rods even on the left side.
Exercise 2:
After this lesson is complete, count with your child using the 3 period lessons. Point to one and say,
“This is one.” Point to two and say, “This is two.” Then pointing with your finger count the sections,
“one, two.” Start with 2 or 3 number rods to begin with. Add number rods as your child masters the
lesson. Repeat until your child really understands counting and the association of numbers to the
rods.
Exercise 3:
Mix the number rods. Randomly ask your child to give you the correct rod for the number you are
asking for. For example, “Give me two.” The child gives you the rod with two sections. When your
child gives you the rod, have her or him count the number of sections. When your child does this
successfully.
