Building Mathematical Minds: Rekenreks Empowering Young Mathematicians
Help me give my students Rekenrek math tools to develop critical early math skills!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Henke's classroom raised $291

My Project
Our first-grade students are vibrant, curious learners who approach mathematics with enthusiasm and creativity. Currently, we use paper Rekenreks that have served us well, but are now worn and deteriorating. These beloved learning tools have been instrumental in helping our students develop critical early math skills.
Our classroom diversity is our strength - each of our students learns at their own pace, and Rekenreks are a perfect tool to support this individualized learning.
These manipulatives will help students:
Develop strong counting skills
Understand place value
Build foundational base-ten concepts
Visualize mathematical relationships
Your support will help us replace our well-loved paper Rekenreks with durable, high-quality wooden Rekenreks, providing a consistent, engaging tool that supports mathematical thinking and helps every student grow!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
