The Number Rods

Description

The Child’s first activity, involving numbers, in a Montessori classroom are The Number Rods. Another name for this activity is, the red and blue rods or the Large Numerical Rods. They represent the quantities one though to ten.

Through exploration with the material, the child also develops concepts in sequence of number, combinations of 10 and basic arithmetic. The first rod is 10cm in length. Each rod rises by an additional 10cm (cumulatively) until the tenth Rod, which equals 1 meter (100cm) in length.

The rods are manufactured in solid MDF and sprayed with a matte eco-friendly lacquer to prevent chipping.

Wooden Montessori Materials - Features and Care Instructions

One of the attractions to the Montessori Method is the extensive use of wood.

We use several types of wood, sourced from renewable sources, in the production of our Montessori Materials.

Solid beechwood for cylinder blocks, pink towers, dressing frames and brown stairs.
Birchply for trays, holders and animal and botany puzzles.
MDF for puzzle maps
Pineply for boxes and containers

We ensure that the coatings and inks used are not only eco-friendly, but also non-toxic.

Our wooden products are manufactured by responsible partner factories both locally and abroad and ensure that fair labour practices are adopted.

Care instructions for Childrens House Wooden Materials:

If wooden products are exposed to liquids, wipe dry as quickly as possible.
Most of the surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth if exposed to dirt or grime.
Avoid leaving any of our wooden product in direct sunlight, as it may warp certain woods and/ or the coating may fade over time.

Le travail de peinture sur les tiges est exquis. Et c’est très précis. Je recommande fortement.
