• Identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations including the number line, and use the language of: equal to, more than, less than (fewer), most, least.
• Mathematics, Year 2, Number - Addition & Subtraction
• Add and subtract numbers using concrete objects, pictorial representations, and mentally.
• Mathematics, Year 2, Number - Number & Place Value
• Identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations, including the number line.
• Mathematics, Year 3, Number - Addition & Subtraction
• Solve problems, including missing number problems, using number facts, place value, and more complex addition and subtraction.
• A set of connecting rods, providing a concrete method for younger learners to understand the concept of numbers.
• Connecting Number Rods empower interactive learning, making abstract mathematical concepts tangible for children.
• They are central in illustrating addition, subtraction, and number value recognition through hands-on manipulation. The rods' colour coding enhances comprehension of numerical relationships, with length variations representing different numbers to visually demonstrate quantity and scale.
• Aligned with Year 1 to Year 3 curriculum objectives, these tools offer practical support in teaching essential maths skills. They assist in visualising mathematical operations and consolidating basic arithmetic operations, fostering a deeper understanding of maths from an early age.
Designed for ease of use, these connecting rods encourage children's active participation. They transform challenging mathematical operations into engaging, manageable exercises, fostering both interest and competence in mathematics.
• The Connecting Number Rods set is a great Maths resource to teach addition and subtraction or use it as a bar modelling tool in KS1.
