If you prefer Cuisenaire rods in two-dimensional form, then you've come to the right place. This set contains 64 rods as flat magnets perfect for presentations on a magnetic board or the fridge. This set includes standard Cuisenaire rod colors and increments, although the measurements have been proportionally enlarged for demonstration purposes. In a standard set of Cuisenaire Rods, the shortest Rod (white), is 1 cm long and the largest (orange) is 10 cm long. In this magnetic set, the white Rod has been enlarged to 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm and the orange Rod has been enlarged to 25 cm x 2.5 cm. ~ Lisa
