Our students are now able to use high-quality, durable math tools to support their learning and show their thinking in hands-on, multisensory ways. These rekenreks help make math more engaging and give students a visual way to explore numbers, build number sense, and explain how they solve problems.\r\n\r\nSo far this school year, we have been using our rekenreks to become \"number detectives!\" Our first graders use these tools to investigate numbers and discover how numbers can be broken apart and put back together to make a whole. We are focusing on understanding part-part-whole relationships within 20 and how these relationships connect to both addition and subtraction. Students slide the beads, look for patterns, and use what they see to explain their mathematical thinking. Instead of simply memorizing facts, they are building a deeper understanding of why numbers work the way they do. It is exciting to watch them make connections, try different strategies, and grow more confident in their math abilities!\r\n\r\nBefore receiving these materials, we spent a lot of time making and repairing number racks out of pipe cleaners and beads, which often broke or needed fixing. Now, our students can spend less time worrying about broken materials and more time doing what matters most: learning! Having reliable tools ready to go has made our students happy, excited, and ready to learn while allowing us to spend more valuable classroom time on instruction and meaningful math activities.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a real difference in our classroom. Thank you for investing in our local students and making a difference right here in our community!

They ask nearly everyday if they can use it. It has benefited all of my students. The kindergartners are using it to learn their letters, while my fourth-graders used it to recreate sculptures they read about.

We did an unboxing and every item the class would cheer and yell! They have been able to understand fractions so much more now that we have manipulatives that they can use to expand their learning. It has especially helped my students who do not speak English very well or who have IEPs in math to have helpful visuals. Our math test scores have increased so much it makes me so happy! \r\nThank you so much for taking the time to want to help our school be sucessfull! We won't forget it!","photopaths":null}]
