The Viga number rods – every colour has its own length, and maths becomes visible!

These wooden maths rods are a versatile teaching aid based on the well-known coloured number rod method. The set has 308 colourful rods of different lengths – a great introduction to numbers, measuring and maths operations. By showing values through colours and lengths, children intuitively learn counting, adding, subtracting and more advanced ideas like fractions and multiplication. The rods come in 10 colours and lengths from 1 to 10 cm, each length with its own colour: 176 white (1 cm), 36 red (2 cm), 36 light green (3 cm), 12 purple (4 cm), 10 yellow (5 cm), 10 dark green (6 cm), 10 black (7 cm), 6 brown (8 cm), 6 blue (9 cm) and 6 orange (10 cm). Everything is stored in a wooden box with a sliding lid and compartments. Natural wood, safe paints. From 3 years.
