Introduction to Cuisenaire Rods: The following activity is intended to equip your learners with familiarity with Cuisenaire Rods, mainly to minimize the temptation to play with the rods when it is time for direct instruction. Because this is to be a time of free play, allow your learners to explore the rods without any type of adult (teacher) direction.
