Many teachers, educators, psychologists and researchers are fighting to change the traditional system of education. That’s why many of them have created new tools and materials to help students learn better. Through time, math has been one of the hardest subjects at school because it’s quite abstract; however, strategies for learning math have evolved combining methods that support not only this subject, but other areas like creativity, perceptual reasoning, processing speed and fine motor skills. We will focus in two important materials that helps learning math, these are Cuisenaire rods and Geoboards. Cuisenaire rods are a collection of 10 rods of different kind of colors, from 1cm to 10cm lengths. Each rod differs from the next by one centimeter, so the students get the concept and the difference between one number and another. This way, the students can assign a value and understand better abstract concepts, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. “Cuisenaire rods are math learning aids for students that provide a hands-on elementary school, this is a way to explore math and learn math concepts, such as the four basic arithmetical operations, working with fractions and finding divisors. In the early 1950s, Caleb Gattegno popularized this set of colored number rods created by the Belgian primary school teacher Georges Cuisenaire, who called the rods réglettes.” [ CITATION Wik14 l 12298 ] One of the basic uses of C-Rods is to offer a model for the numbers 1 to 10. If the white rod is assigned the value of 1, the red rod is assigned the value of 2 because the red rod has the same length as a “train” of two white rods. Similarly, the rods from light green through orange are assigned values from 3 through 10, respectively. The orange and white rods can provide a model for place value. To find the length of a certain train, students can cover the train with as many orange rods as they can and then fill in the remaining distance with white rods; so a train covered with
