My research shows that some children have trouble grasping the basic concept of place value. This basic number concept is so important for math success later down the line. The result of a child not fully understanding place value could lead to problems when he/she is faced with fractions, division or other more challenging problems. For children to understand place value, they first need to name numbers, do simple small number addition and subtraction, and understand about groups.
If you are teaching place value or other number sense concepts, children's books can make the difference between comprehension and confusion for students who are visual or verbal in nature. A great place to start with lower elementary levels would be the following children's books.
Children's Math Books
These books children's are excellent for teaching place value, odd and even numbers, and other basic number sense concepts.
Here is a look at a lesson plan on place value I think we all would enjoy!
