Land of Num: Place Value

Discover what kinds of homes each number built and the different kinds of land that they choose. This books build understanding of place value on something each child understand; a home. Reading this book will help children to understand that the position of a digit in a number tells its value and that it takes 10 of a number in one place-value position to make a number in the next greatest place-value position.

Introducing math through reading is a great way to help students understand and remember new concepts.
