A.BASHEER AHMED, PRINCIPAL, DIET, RANIPET
D.IYAPPAN, LECTURER, DIET, RANIPET

Introducing numbers to the kids is slightly difficult. A small square board of side 25 cms with a wooden frame around it, is used to introduce numbers and basic operators in Mathematics at the Primary Level.
      The frame around the board acts as a stand to hold the NUMBER RODS.
      There are ten rods in this kit to facilitate the basic operations in Mathematics.
Rod 01:
It is a red cube of Side 2.5cms. It represents 1 unit.
Placing the Rod 01 in the Number Rod Board is given in Diagram 01.

Rod 02:
It is a cuboid made up of two cubes of side 2.5 cms each placed one over the other. It means that, two units are joined one above the other. two cubes one is red and the other is blue.
In this rod red unit represents 1 and the blue unit represents 2. So, while keeping this rod on the board the red unit should be placed at the bottom, frame which acts as a stand.
Placing the Rod 02 in the Number Rod Board is given in Diagram 02.
