Yesterday we started math! I introduced a new tool the students will use throughout the school year. The math tool we learned about for the school year is Rekenreks! The students have found that Rekenreks are lots of fun to use! This tool is a great hands on resource to help represent various numbers and even solve math problems. Today we worked on showing a number that is greater than five with the use of the Rekenrek. The students can easily identify the group of five and the "left overs" in order to make the given number.
The students had time to explore the Rekenreks before we used them for math! They had lots of fun and are enjoying using this tool for math!
