Build Your Own Rekenrek With Pool Noodles

A rekenrek is a math tool that resemble an abacus. It is a great tool for early math learners and helps build a solid foundation for counting and place value. I wanted a display rekenrek, but didn’t really want to spend $30. With a little creative construction, I made a custom desk-display rekenrek for under $11.
