Rekenreks (also known as arithmetic racks or calculating frames) are ideal for building number sense in students. The Rekenrek gives students a concrete, physical object (measures 9" x 2¾" x 3") to help develop and deepen their understanding of numbers. Students build a strong sense of 5 and 10 and learn about the relationships among numbers and operations along the way.

This class set includes 25 student Rekenrek frames plus 1 teacher demonstration frame. The teacher frame is larger (21” x 6.5” x 4.5”) and has a write-on/wipe-off whiteboard panel, so teachers can write out problems and demonstrate solutions on the Rekenrek while students follow along on their own.
