Rekenrek Math Workshop


Today we used a rekenreck in math workshop. It helps us recognize groups of ten and five. We will use it to add and subtract, and to give kids a concrete image of addition and subtraction strategies. First we played a little game to see how quickly students could recognize numbers such as 22 or 36. This awesome tool helps students "see" number groups!

I started using a Rekenrek with my class this year and can't believe how much their number sense has improved! Wish I had known about this tool in previous years.
