Rekenrek by mathies 1.3.1

The Rekenrek tool serves as an effective resource for deepening understanding of fundamental number concepts and their interrelationships.

Mathematical Concepts:

• Provides a visual framework for exploring mathematical ideas such as understanding number relationships through benchmarks of 5 and 10.
• Enables the representation of numbers in diverse formats, supporting the processes of composition and decomposition.
• Facilitates subitizing, allowing for immediate recognition of quantities.
• Supports the application of counting principles to develop accurate numerical reasoning.
• Promotes a conceptual grasp of addition and subtraction operations.
• Encourages the development of multiplicative thinking strategies.
• Assists in visualizing division facts to strengthen foundational understanding.

Features:

• Allows adjustment of the number of rows to vary the complexity of tasks.
• Offers customization of background and bead colours for a tailored user experience.
• Provides the ability to drag rods for comparison of values, enhancing interactive engagement.
• Includes options to hide beads using resizable shades, which can be repositioned to direct focus and highlight specific features.
• Contains a “pencil” tool to facilitate recording of thought processes or highlighting particular aspects of the representations.
