How can I help?

Expectations are high

Teachers are under stress to cover the entire mathematics curriculum with a classroom full of children with a variety of learning ability. They deserve a simple method that works! 

The solution

Whole class teaching regardless of ability

The Rekenrek allows children to build, show and explain both their understanding and reveal their misunderstandings. It is simple, mess free and covers so many mathematical concepts.

Benefits

Confidence building

Empowering teachers and pupils to build confidence in mathematics. We know that stress and anxiety in mathematics is a real issue. We believe in supporting teachers with new teaching techniques to build confidence and active participation in mathematical learning.

Simplicity and versatility

The Rekenrek brings numerous mathematical concepts including place value, multiplication, addition, subtraction, decimals, fractions and even mental mathematical strategies!

Mathematical talk and questioning

Good questions can yield assessment for learning. Our young mathematicians need to be asked, “How do you know?”    “Can you show me?”    “Can you prove it?”   

Mess-free!

Teachers absolutely love the fact that they can use a manipulative that is mess-free! It is quickly becoming teacher’s go-to manipulative which also simple to use, easy to store and easy to distribute which means more time for learning.

Engaging learning

We all know the importance of making mathematics hands on and engaging. The rekenrek allows children to build show and explain their understanding.It is also the perfect tool be able to assess at a glance!

CPA Approach (Concrete, Pictorial Abstract)

The research is clear. The CPA approach builds on children’s existing knowledge by introducing abstract concepts in a concrete and tangible way. Our resources clearly guide you to move from concrete materials, to pictorial representations, and finally to abstract symbols and problems.
