counting beads

While cruising math games on pinterest I was inspired to make a number of counting games and 'tools'.

I had to work with what I had though, and couldn't make anything exactly as I seeing on pinterst.

I had wooden beads and metal kabob skewers, so I grabbed some pliers, and went to town.

We're only two days into our homeschooling journey, 

I'm sure as we go, we'll find a number of ways to use these.

So far, however, we have just matched them up with numbered cards.
