Digit's Place

By: Megan Bell Smith

Penny Penelope Payne can't make sense of her math homework. Her mother saves the day with the story of Digit in the Base Ten Woods. This squirrel has to think fast when family members (and other surprise guests) keep arriving with more acorns. Where can he store them when his shelves are full? Read this story to children ages 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 to teach about place value, bundling numbers as they move up to the next place, and multiplying by tens. Before you know it, your student will learn the same lesson as Penny - "That when ten times as many move left one door, the places get bigger with more room to store. You can bundle a bunch so each room has more space. Each number has value and each has a place." Targeted for ages 6-11, Digit's Place is a perfect math read-aloud for elementary students. Read this book when teaching math lessons about number sense and place value. Help students practice multiplying by tens, hundreds, thousands, and more. The math rhymes inside this book will help children remember basic math concepts that are primarily taught in 4th-grade. Read Digit's Place to teach about number place value through the thousands, millions, and up to 1 billion. Teach students to multiply by multiples of ten. Use the place value charts on the practice worksheets to help 4th and 5th-grade students deepen their number sense. After writing Digit's Place, I created read-along pages so students can practice the math problems that appear inside the story! These place value practice worksheets are perfect for 4th and 5th-grade students to use in connection with my book, Digit's Place . Hear From Parents and Educators: "I loved reading Digit's Place to my 4th-grade class. They were highly engaged with the rhyming words and illustrations. In fact, the rhyme is helping them remember the concept of multiplying a number by ten times as many in a place value chart." "We used these practice pages to create little place value books. My students had lots of fun sharing what they know about place value." "I used this for my top group of students as an extension activity. They absolutely loved it!"
