Shouldn't there be some note that Cuisenaire Rods are actually a trademarked manipulative (by ETA/Cuisenaire)? PFlats 21:01, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Midland Elementary school used the rods in 1963

During the school year of 1963-64, while I was attending third grade at Bonham Elementary in Midland, Texas, our class was given daily exercises in Cuisenaire Rods. I have not been found documentation of this being a widespread practice, nor have I found people my age who attended Texas schools elsewhere who had exposure to Cuisenaire Rods. I personally found the program immensely interesting and helpful to my further education, especially in algebra.
