[|K-5 Math Teaching Resources-Rekenrek] The link above is to the rekenrek recording sheets used with permission at the conference. (There are many other GREAT resources on this site!)

[|Math Learning Center Rekenrek Activities] These are the activities we did in the session!

[|Virtual Rekenrek]

[|Wonderful Virtual Rekenrek] This virtual rekenrek will allow you to move beads over in groups(just like you do on the actual rekenrek) AND it lets you drag a "cover" to hide the beads if you want! The cover is a white "screen" you drag from the right that has an eye on it.

[|Thinking Mathematically] The link above is to books written by Jeff Frykholm who has lots of expertise in using the rekenrek and number line. These are great resource books!

[|Contexts for Learning Mathematics] Great resource kit of lessons using the rekenrek and number line. This kit comes with many lesson plans and big books for each 2 week unit of lessons.

[|Number Talks] Link to Number Talks book available from Math Solutions


 * Someone at the session asked about grading today and the books below are wonderful resources!!!

[|Informative Assessment book] This book is GREAT! A great book study on re-thinking assessment in math!

[|How to Assess While You Teach Math] Another GREAT resource with examples of lessons with formative assessments.
