These colourful wooden rods are a mathematics learning aid for students that provide an interactive, hands-on way to explore and learn mathematical concepts, such as arithmatic, fractions and finding divisors.  This set also comes with mathematics symbols to help with equations.  This set is for beginners who already have a concept of numbers and basic addition and subtraction.   They provide a visual tool to help children improve their basic maths skills.   Once you've finished your maths sums for the day, the rods pack up into a wooden tray to keep neat and contained.
