Playful discoveries with great ideas like Cuisenaire Rods and Infant Learning

$PDL's Barnyard Fraction Race Game for Cuisenaire® Rods has an activity mat with worksheets to explore fractions. These activities are a platform for students to explore the relationship between fractions, multiplication, equivalent fractions and more. These activities are great in large groups, small groups or individually. The first activity is a racing game designed to be used with Cuisenaire® Rods. During the racing game, the rules provide the student opportunity to observe when certain fractions are equivalent to others. An observation journal is meant to develop student awareness for equivalency both in multiplication and fractions. Other worksheets are meant to explore the variety of ways rods may be described in the context of multiplication and fractions.$

$This interactive math notebook bundle has been updated to now include 96 hands-on activity mats and over 775 worksheets that cover a wide range of elementary math concepts including number sense, odd and even numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, fractions, factoring, squares, algebra and more. Designed to appeal to the imagination of children and to encourage repeated use of the activities to solidify their number sense with joyful discoveries. These activities are designed to be used with Cuisenaire® Rods.$

PDL's Lessons for Cuisenaire Rods

Gattegno's Conference - This was an online conference that I highly recommend for anyone who wants to see Gattegno's pedagogy in action. It is also lead by Arthur Powell who practices Gattegno's pedagogy throughout the conference. For a nominal fee of $50, you can have access to these videos to reference and develop your understanding. *I do not receive any compensation for referring you to this conference. I just benefited so much from it that I have to share.
