Material
This material consists of ten wooden rods, painted alternating red and blue. The shortest rod is 10cm in length, they each increase in length by 10cm up to the longest which is 100cm long. The ends of the rods are 2.5cm square.

The Number Rods can be made by cutting 1" x 1" boards to the correct length, taping them off, and then painting them.
