My students need rekenreks to help assist and advance their mathematic knowledge.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gold's classroom raised $435

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I have a class of 30 children, some of which have never been to school before.
My exceptional kindergarten students start their day with excitement and eagerness to learn.
The vast majority of my students come from single parent, low-income households. Many just arrived in the United States this year. Many are learning English for the first time. Despite the challenges they and their families face every day, these boys and girls walk into kindergarten with bright eyes and big smiles.
My Project
The materials that I am requesting are a class set of rekenreks and 1 teacher rekenrek. A rekenrek is a calculating frame or an arithmetic rack. It features two rows of 10 beads, each broken into two sets of five, much like the ten frames used in our GOMATH lessons. It is designed to support the natural mathematical development of children and to help them generate a variety of addition and subtraction strategies including doubles plus or minus 1.
The rekenrek supports even the youngest learners with the visual models they need to discover number relationships and develop automaticity.
The rekenrek also allows students to develop a variety of addition and subtraction strategies.
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
