This isn't just a bead bar.
It's a recycled, sturdy, brilliantly simple maths sidekick.
Whether you're tackling number bonds, cracking the counting on, or just making "greater than" sound greater than ever, this rekenrek does the job-minus the plastic guilt.
Each bar features twenty beads (10 red, 10 white) arranged in groups of five, perfect for building early number sense and highlighting that all-important 5s and 10s structure.
It's sloped for stability, sits neatly on tables or trays, and is made from RE-Wood-a clever material produced entirely from waste wood fibres.
Stainless steel rods and fastenings add durability.
The eco-credentials?
Top notch.
The learning potential?
Even better.
From EYFS through to Key Stage One, this bead bar supports counting, comparison, adding and subtracting, doubling and halving-basically, it does everything except make the tea.
