These individual rekenreks are optimal for such a time as this, with social distancing in mind. Covid has created a new reality for our upcoming new school year. I want to give our first grade students the tools they need to learn using a variety of individual materials during the school day.
My students deserve to have individual supplies and tools that deepen learning.
With the built-in 5 & 10 structure, rekenreks help children build number relationships that lead to more. In every classroom, there are students of various mathematical abilities, some children automatically know that 7 + 8 = 15 and others who have to count out seven objects, count out eight objects, and then count them all to determine it makes fifteen. Most manipulatives we use in primary classrooms do not help children get past the one-by-one counting and into more efficient strategies. With the rekenrek, children can model and solve problems the same as they would with counting cubes, but the built-in structure of the rekenrek allows children the flexibility to develop more advanced strategies as well.
