Ten colors, ten lengths, endless mathematical discoveries!

Stop explaining abstract math concepts and start showing them! With 250 colorful rods in graduated sizes, your child can literally see and feel the difference between numbers. From tiny 1-cm white cubes to impressive 10-cm orange rods, each piece represents a different value that children can stack, compare, and arrange to discover mathematical relationships that suddenly make perfect sense.

Each rod length has its own color; white ones, red twos, gray threes, and so on, creating a visual number system that transforms counting, addition, subtraction, and pattern recognition into hands-on adventures. Watch as your child builds number sequences like colorful staircases, creates graphs with physical bars, and solves math problems by literally moving the answers around. The five included activity cards provide structured learning, but the real breakthroughs happen when kids start experimenting and discovering number patterns on their own.

Built for years of mathematical exploration! These durable plastic rods are designed to withstand enthusiastic young mathematicians while staying vibrant and easy to clean. The included storage box keeps all 250 pieces organized and ready for the next math adventure. Perfect for visual and kinesthetic learners who need to see, touch, and build their way to understanding because sometimes the best way to learn numbers is to give them shape and color.
