Math Blocks – Visual and Hands-On Learning with Arithmetic Rods

Take the next step in early math learning with our Math Blocks, designed to help children build a strong foundation in number sense through hands-on exploration. These arithmetic rods allow young learners to visually and physically explore the relationships between numbers, making abstract concepts more concrete and understandable.

Perfect for early years settings, the rods represent numbers up to ten and can be used to demonstrate how numbers can be split and combined in various ways. For example, the rod representing the number 5 is the same length as the rods for 1 and 4 placed end to end—or 2 and 3—illustrating number bonds and addition in a tangible, memorable way.

By manipulating the rods, children develop:

• A deeper understanding of part-whole relationships
• Visual and spatial awareness of number value
• Problem-solving and reasoning skills through exploration
• Confidence in basic arithmetic through play-based learning

Ideal for both individual and small group activities, Math Blocks bring math to life in a way that is engaging, developmentally appropriate, and aligned with early years mathematics curricula.
