A 2.5cm squared paper file has been added to the Resources page. Many of the magnetic versions of Cuisenaire rods that are used for teacher modelling come in multiples of 2.5cm. Children use their Cuisenaire rods in cm squared paper and it is helpful if teacher modelling with the magnetic versions of Cuisenaire rods can also be done on squared paper. If your magnetic rods are in multiples of 2.5cm then this resource will be suitable. You may want to join two sheets together a

New lessons have been added to Stage 3, Unit 3: Develop fluency in 4, 8 and 3 × tables and related division facts. In the first of the new lessons, children use Cuisenaire rods to make the edges of arrays. They then state multiplicative facts linked to the arrays. They also explore the relationship when one factor stays the same and the other is multiplied. For example: 4 × 3 = 12 8 × 3 = 24 The second of the new lessons also involves making arrays. This time the relationship
