A method and device for teaching mathematics comprises a plurality of
elongated members used to teach mathematics concepts. Each of the
plurality of elongated members represent an associated numerical value.
At least some of the plurality of elongated members are of different
lengths, wherein the length of each of the plurality of elongated members
is proportional to the numerical value represented by the elongated
member. A plurality of retention members configured to receive the
elongated members. Each of the plurality of retention members is
configured to receive at least two of the plurality of elongated members.
The device also comprises a numberline associated with the plurality of
retention members. When the elongated members are placed on the retention
member, various mathematical concepts may be shown.
