The School Track Meet: Understand Place Value

By Alex Zander

Engaging story lines and relatable contexts assist readers in understanding the fundamentals of numbers and operations in base ten. Students will learn how to extend the count sequence and gain an understanding of place value in order to apply that understanding to addition and subtraction equations. Age-appropriate text and eye-catching visuals make these concepts easy to understand for beginning math students. Readers will watch a runner go for the gold at their school's track meet, which provides the framework for teaching about place value. Readers will be able to look at two numbers and determine which is greater than, which is lesser than, or if they are equal. This volume satisfies CCSS Math Standard 1.NBT.B.3. This book should be paired with At the Track Meet (9781477721339) from the InfoMax Math Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.
