Place Value: A Critical History of the Green Revolution

Best bought at ages 5-6 when the kid already knows about place value system...but definitely a good example of interesting teaching literature

Good book

This is a great read aloud starting the unit review on Place Value.

Great book but not suitable for UK as it is American and talks about dollars and their units of measure :)

Its okay

This book came in good condition. However, I don’t recommend it as a resource to explain place value to children. You’re far better off explaining the concept yourself in a much simpler way using manipulatives. It is nothing more than an explanation of big numbers that will not be accessible for younger children who are interested in big numbers.For us, this book is way over explained and not very enjoyable to read. This is because there is no story. It simply takes 20 pages to explain how we can use the same numbers 0-9 in different orders and they mean something different depending on their order. I bought this book for my gifted three year old who loves big numbers. I thought it might build upon his understanding of big numbers in a way that’s fun and story like. This wasn’t the case. It’s far too wordy and complicated.

Great book. My son has struggled with number placement and this book is structured just right to help him understand. I’m getting results and he’s enjoying it. Thanks for putting this together.
