The rekenrek is a key model for the development of number reasoning. In contrast to manipulatives, models support understanding of a concept while manipulatives are often just a “concrete way” to practice procedures. Models for thinking are representations of relationships. The rekenrek is helpful in promoting both additive and multiplicative thinking. Our wooden rekenrek with red & white beads supports reasoning built on structures of 5 and 10 and we offer a 20 Bead Rekenrek.
Once children have had many experiences using the rekenrek to explore number relationships and have worked with the rekenrek as a model for thinking, utilize our Rekenrek Cards to develop fluency. Our Rekenrek Cards are a digital download.
