Cuisenaire rods can be intimidating at first since there are no notches marking ones and therefore no way to just know what number each represents. But once you become familiar with them, you realize that is their power! Cuisenaire are amazing tools for developing a whole variety of math concepts and skills, and kids love working with them. Watch this video where I introduce the use of Cuisenaire rods, then give them a try with your students.
Teaching with Cluster Cards

Cluster Cards are an effective tool developed by Mahesh Sharma to help students visualize the “clusters” of numbers by breaking them into parts that can be subitized. In this video series I introduce Cluster Cards and demonstrate how they can be used to teach the decomposition and recomposition of numbers 1-10, leading to an internalized visualization of each number arrangement.
