We are still in the preschool years and are already loving these. In fact, we've ordered a follow-up set of 155 (available here on Amazon) to have more 10s and 1s to work on place value. Look online for a free Cuisenaire Rod pre-Miquon primer that's great for introducing the values of the rods and concepts behind them.

The description wasn't very detailed, so here is the breakdown of our kit:

22 x 1 cm white blocks

12x 2 cm red rods

10 x 3 cm light green rods

6 x 4 cm purple rods

4 each of the 5 cm, 6 cm, 7cm, 8 cm, 9 cm, and 10 cm rods.

These were not exactly the same length as each other. Defeats the purpose! Also, they came warped slightly and they warped more over time. Totally annoying to try and use these with the Miquon Math program. Save yourself much trouble and buy the traditional wooden or plastic ones. If you must have the connecting aspect, buy Unifix Cubes instead.

Would not buy again.

These blocks are made of plastic and can stick together. Each number is a different color so the kids can identify them quite quickly. Which is wonderful for explaining number bonds in addition. My hands on learner really benifited from this hands on tool as he was learning math. Don't know how I would have taught him otherwise. These are so helpful. Only wish I would have gotten the larger set!

Honest reviews on Connecting Cuisenaire Rods Introductory Set

I taught 6th grade math for exactly 1 semester. I hope never to do it again. But I sure wish I'd had these Cuisenaire rods. What a great way to introduce the concepts of algebra without confusing the developing student's brain. In fact, I am using these with my 8 year old, with great success. I wish all schools would use manipulatives like these!

I got these for my son to use with his math books for homeschooling. He loves using them and makes math fun. They let him learn in a hands-on way. They make my job of explaining math concepts a lot easier.
