Mini 100 Bead Wooden Rekenrek, Abacus for Kids Math, Math Manipulatives Kindergarten, Counting Rack for Kids, Counters for Kids Math, Educational Toys for Elementary Kids (Set of 1)

The size is perfect as an on table or take-to-the car adjunct to discussing numbers up to 100. I like that 5 are red and 5 are white on each row so the kids can quickly visualise the number. The beads slide easily, a bit too easily sometimes when we're in the car, but the kids manage. My 5 and 6 year old use it when we discuss numbers at home and in the car.

Purchased this to reinforce 2nd grade math at home, and it really helped visualize the ten facts and counting by 5s and 10s. It's the perfect size to store away but big enough to get hands on when actively learning.

This is a staple for teaching my math small groups. The size is not too small or too large (can handle easily) The quality is amazing and the product is sturdy. It stands well on its own. I have found it extremely useful for teaching all my elementary aged students. From teaching multiplicative strategies like arrays to addition and subtraction within 10 (or even structuring). I wish I had gotten this sooner.

I've owned multiple abacuses, but they were all large and fairly heavy. I wanted one that was small, lightweight and more portable, while still being sturdy enough to handle a toddler using it part-time as a toy. This fits the bill. It's held up to fairly heavy use for months, and it's still in great condition. I like that this can be used standing up or laying down, because the plastic feet are removable. The one downside? It does fall over rather easily. But we just use it laying down if a younger kid is using it. Great little tool for teaching and practicing math without having hundreds of little math manipulatives all over.

Did exactly what it was supposed to! Helped my children learn math in a different form. Seems to be good quality and it functions well for our needs. Seems to be durable enough to be around when my last kid needs it. Good quality for the money!
