You had better not monkey around when it comes to place value. The monkeys in this book can tell you why! As they bake the biggest banana cupcake ever, they need to get the amounts in the recipe correct. There’s a big difference between 216 eggs and 621 eggs. Place value is the key to keeping the numbers straight. Using humorous art, easy-to-follow charts and clear explanations, this book presents the basic facts about place value while inserting some amusing monkey business.

Kids can say goodbye to math anxiety with the help of the learning techniques introduced in this series of teacher-aides. Drawing on visual and kinesthetic learning strategies instead of abstract concepts, even students who have always struggled with computation can become math whizzes. Each book is designed to replace the drudgery normally associated with rote memorization with the satisfaction and success gained from engaged, hands-on learning. The key is recognizing visual patterns that exist between numbers when they are arranged in global "wholes." These visual patterns provide multiple pathways for computation and recall, and are especially suited for kids who have had little success with traditional learning techniques. These resources are packed with handy blackline masters of worksheets, assessments, and overheads, and provide a comprehensive program for elementary math skills. The third addition to the series explores single and multi-digit computation, place value, word problems, and strategies for various learning styles.

Have you ever noticed that we tend to compartmentalize when teaching our children? In real life, there aren’t artificial barriers between “subjects.” For example, when you are cooking or baking, you have to use the skills of reading, logical thinking, and measuring, just to name a few. In driving a car, you see and read road signs, read maps, and count miles. It has become quite clear that there is an abundance of math curriculums available that are nothing but monotonous drill sheets dressed up in pretty colors. Pretty colors do not make a living book. Content, story, and the ability to show math in real life make a living math book. Math Level 1: Teach math lessons through the creative means of a life storyProvides a link for the downloadable answer keyHas a scope and sequence that contains learning numbers 0 to 100, circles and patterns, counting and addition, days of the week, and telling time. This book was written to be used by you and your young student together. It is the story of a twin brother and sister, Charlie and Charlotte, who are visiting their grandparents’ farm. They soon learn that the farm is full of learning opportunities! As you read their story, your students will be drawn into the adventure along with the twins. They will learn about numbers, shapes, place value, adding, and subtracting. They will also learn about gardening, baby animals on the farm, nature, and the love of family. They will hear exciting stories from Grandpa and Grandma, and they will be invited to join the twins on their living math adventures. We hope you have a grand time on this adventure!

"Through games, investigations, and children’s literature, students explore the base ten system through the ten thousands, moving from using concrete manipulatives to more abstract reasoning. Using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, students apply their knowledge of place value to solve a variety of problems."--pub. desc.

Presents a five-week unit of instruction for helping children construct their own understanding of our number system by learning about place value through grouping, counting, measuring, and graphing.

Looks at counting systems and the history of the number zero.
