Rekenreks (also known as arithmetic racks or calculating frames) are ideal for building number sense in students. The Rekenrek gives students a concrete, physical object to help develop and deepen their understanding of numbers. Students build a strong sense of 5 and 10 and learn about the relationships among numbers and operations along the way.
