Rekenrek 100 Bead Bar Made From Recycled Wood (1Pk)

The Rekenrek 100 Bead Bar is a professional-grade mathematical teaching resource, highly supported by the NCETM programme. It uses two rows of five beads in alternating colours to help children to subitise using anchor numbers of 5 and 10. The frame is made from RE-Wood®, a sustainable material derived from recycled wood residue, making this resource both environmentally responsible and educationally essential for teaching addition, subtraction, and partitioning numbers.

Features

• 10 rows of 10 beads (100 total), with 5 red and 5 white beads on each row.
• Frame is made from RE-Wood® (recycled wood) for a stable, sustainable design.
• Features stainless steel rods for smooth movement and durability.
• Sloped design ensures stability when used on a table or floor.

Benefits

• Mathematics (M): Foundational for developing number sense, subitising, number bonds to 5 and 10, place value, and mental arithmetic.
• Sustainability (ES): Introduces the concept of recycled materials and environmental responsibility.
• Fine Motor (PD): Moving the beads along the rods supports pincer grip and controlled movement.
• Problem Solving (C&L): Provides a visual model for children to explain and demonstrate their mathematical thinking.
