The object: to make rectangular arrays with Cuisenaire Rods and place them on 10-by-10-centimeter grids until no more space is available. Introduced to American educators by The Cuisenaire Company of America in the 1950's, Cuisenaire Rods were used in schools and teacher colleges in the decades following and gained wider recognition when they were included in the 1983 Texas textbook adoption. Invented in 1931 by Belgian teacher Georges Cuisenaire, Cuisenaire Rods help students better understand important math concepts, allowing them to gradually progress from concrete to abstract thinking. |
