David Adler has a remarkable talent for teaching content vocabulary and concepts through picture books. He takes a complex concept like place value and breaks it down to understandable parts. Place Value begins by comparing a word and letter to a number and a digit. Adler sets the reader up for understanding by comparing the letters of the alphabet to the 10 digits that make up our number system. It is easy to see how letters and numbers can be rearranged to show endless words and numbers. Using concrete examples helps young learners comprehend ideas being presented while entertaining readers with a group of monkeys making one very large banana cupcake. Additional concepts taught are:• The use of commas in large numbers.• Place value up to the hundred trillions.• Using a decimal point and connection to fraction.• Money and using the decimal point.• Writing numbers with words.• The history of our number system.The visuals throughout this book are exceptional. Although this is a picture book and geared towards readers in grade 1-3. As a teacher, this book can be used for grades 1-5 because of the content covered. Place Value is an outstanding way to bring literacy into content areas.
Great book for understanding place value.
