Overview
These bead strings help children visually differentiate quantities through a consistent red and blue pattern. The durable material ensures they withstand regular classroom use.
In Year 1, bead strings help children identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations, like the number line, reinforcing terms such as equal to, more than, and less than. In Year 2, they assist in identifying, representing, and estimating numbers, deepening number and place value comprehension.
