Kriyaa Beads Counting String

Designed as a hands-on counting string with red and white beads arranged for clear visual grouping, this resource is available in 20 small beads, 50 small beads, 100 small beads, and 100 big beads to support progressive practice. It strengthens counting, addition, subtraction, sequencing, skip counting, and pattern recognition while enhancing fine motor coordination. Suitable for PP2, PP3, G1, and G2 learners.

LKG (PP2) | UKG (PP3) | Grade 1 | Grade 2 | Ages 4–8

One-to-one correspondence, Cardinality and ordinality, Perceptual subitizing, Conceptual subitizing (using colour groupings), Additive reasoning, Skip counting (2s, 5s, 10s), Linear number sensing, Pattern recognition and extension, Fine motor manipulation, Eye-hand coordination, Mental visualization, Comparison of magnitudes

Supports the concrete–pictorial–abstract transition through linear number representation — using colour-grouped beads to build subitizing, additive reasoning, and the foundations of base-ten thinking.

1. Slide & Count – Call a number; learners slide that many beads. Builds one-to-one correspondence.

2. Skip Count Together – Slide beads in 2s, 5s, or 10s using the colour groups. Develops skip counting.

3. Add Beads – Push two groups together to model addition. Strengthens additive reasoning.

4. More or Less – Compare two bead positions on the string. Builds magnitude comparison.

5. Estimate & Check – Estimate a quantity, then count the beads to verify. Grows linear number sensing."
