Hands-On Math Help with Cuisenaire Rods
Cuisenaire Rods are the ultimate math-learning manipulative. They are fixed shapes that represent the numbers one through ten. However, they can be made at home with connecting centimeter cubes, using designated colors for columns of one, two, three, and so on. This course uses a computer simulation program (included) to represent the rods. It teaches parents how to present the concepts. Concepts can then be taught to students using the interactive program, physical blocks (purchased separately), or handmade options.
Special Needs
This course is a nineteen-part program to help those with children with special needs, including difficulty with math. It provides practical solutions and helpful tips for choosing curriculum and modifying and adapting instruction. For math help, see Lesson Fourteen: Assistive Technology: Struggling with Math.
