Cuisenaire Rods

[asleep]

did anyone use these at school? they are coloured wooden blocks to visualise numbers. i loved using them at school and thinking back the concept really worked for me.

NotAnOtter, sorry it's taken forever to get back to you re that Cuisinaire rod. Rather than us pay a fiver for the CAT facility ( that 'contact another' doodah mumsnet uses?) Here's an email address for me that I use for this kind of thing:
russellandsteph(removethisbit)@ippimail.com -so I don't get piles of spam!

I'm keen on getting a set of these; I searched and found this thread.

To any of you with a wooden set, which supplier do you recommend ? I'd like to buy online if possible, but I'm based in N.London so could travel a bit if there was a nearish recommended shop.
