This unit features a plastic frame, 2 metal bars with 5 red beads, and 5 white beads, on each. Use the Rekenrek to practice numbers up to 20.Rekenreks are visual models that encourage students to subitize, think of numbers in groups, strengthen counting proficiency, develop addition and subtraction strategies, and gain a better understanding of number relationships. Great for supporting the development of number sense.Example: How many ways can you make the sum of 7 (4 red and 3 white, 5 red and 2 white, etc.) One thing I love to do with the Rekenrek is to push the red beads to the left and the white beads to the right and have students show me how many ways they can come up with a sum (by pushing the beads to the center). You also move the beads to the left and read it from left to right. I put a sticker on the right side of the Rekenrek to help students know how to clear it.
