### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A useful teaching tool
  

*by A***) on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 December 2020*

Every teacher/tutor should have a set of these.I am using this product at work in my tutoring. There are lots of games that can be played using these, not just for place value: I use these for adding and subtracting too (I would be happy to share some of my ideas). There are plenty of rods in the box to use individually or as part of a small group. Easy to clean also.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good
  

*by A***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 March 2012*

A really good resource, particulary for multiplication, as (for example) it enforces children to work in blocks of numbers rather that singular digits - e.g. 3 lots of 2-blocks measures to 6 (used with the track), but the children do not have the option of counting the blocks as 1,2,3,4,5... Note that you have to buy the number track seperately.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Well made plastic set of Cuisenaire
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 April 2018*

As another reviewer has said, it's a slight shame that these rods are plastic, rather than wood. However they are well made, fit well inside the box and will likely last decades, assuming they don't go missing. Speaking of which, the case lid is not the tightest at closing and so I'd recommend that you use a rubber band to ensure it stays in place securely, so you don't have to spend hours picking up the pieces from the floor.These are very useful for TEFL teaching, colours, stresses, numbers, comparisons etc.
