When I attended a math workshop training I had no idea what a rekenrek was, no shame there. If I had guessed this item's name I would have gone with abacus. This simple tool is a great math tool for young learners. It has one to one correspondence while counting, skip counting by 5s, solving addition and subtraction problems within 20, and so many other problem solving opportunities. Materials:
The materials are pretty straight forward. If you find a better way to attach and secure the beads, please let me know. This was the best way I could think to make it work. Whenever I provide students with math tools we talk about tools vs toys and the expectations needed to utilize this tool. Follow me on Teachers Pay Teachers
