The track is a terrific accessory to use with the Deci-Rods or Cuisenaire Rods (sold separately). There are two parts to this track. One goes from 0-50 and the other from 50-100. While there is nothing to hold them together, they can be placed next to each other. A Rod Track is a great visual math tool for understanding and measuring numeracy. The rods can fit nicely inside the track, and slide back and forth or rest along the track. ~Amber
Publisher's Description of Deci-Rods Track Only
This double-sided Deci-Rods track is designed to linearly see values up to 100. Slots fit cm cubes and Deci-Rods. One side has a single slot for counting. The other side has a double slot for comparing and computing. Both sides are labelled to 100. Track comes in two 19.7" (50cm) long pieces. Grades K+
These color-coded, numbered Deci-Rods are not to be confused with the Cuisenaire rods. The set of 80 Deci-Rods come in 10 sizes and colors and share the same color configuration as Deci-Blocks. You can either buy the color-coded rods with printed numbers/dots or just in plain color. ~Amber
