Abstract: Abstract Cuisenaire1 rods (“C-rods”) are color-coded rods used in kindergarten through eighth grade to help students develop an intuitive understanding of concepts such as whole numbers, fractions, measurement, ratio, area, perimeter, symmetry, congruence, three-dimensional geometry, patterns, and functions. All rods have square cross-section 1 cm. by 1 cm. and integer lengths from 1 cm. to 10 cm. The rods are white (1 cm.), red (2 cm.), green (3 cm.), purple (4 cm.), yellow (5 cm.), dark green (6 cm.), black (7 cm.), brown (8 cm.), blue (9 cm.), and orange (10 cm.).
