Early Math Resources

Abacuses and Math Beads

Abacuses have been used since ancient times and are great tools for teaching math to young children. The abacus typically features 10 rows of taut string with colorful beads on each one and can be used with a wide range of activities. They're great for visualizing addition, subtraction and multiplication and learning colors and patterns. You can separate two amounts with your finger, then slide them together to show their full amount.The rekenrek is similar but only features two bars, and the beads are split into different colors for each half. This makes it easier to visualize and work with multiples of five.We carry both types of beading tools built with sturdy constructions, as well as extra rekenrek string sets and activity cards.

Counting and Sorting Manipulatives

Counting is always easier if you have something to hold onto. We have a massive collection of counting manipulatives and sorting tools, such as classic counting bears, along with other animals, items, chips, beads and linking shapes. Many of these come in fun, themed kits so students can count penguins on "icy" pegs or help place eggs back into a chicken. Other tools to help them count include sorting bowls and bags, great for letting students keep track of what they've separated.
