Chapter 1: The Chocolate Factory is a trading activity which allows students to regroup numbers in a natural context and understand the convenience of place value. The activity naturally extends into bases other than base ten. Even young children can become adept at addition and subtraction in any base. Working in several bases clarifies the connection between place value and algebraic expression.
Chapter 2: Base Ten for Young Students presents a variety of techniques for helping children to internalize base ten. The chapter includes recommendations of resources and materials, as wells as principles for evaluating materials and knowing which materials to avoid.
Chapter 3: The Bake Sale is an activity that demonstrates division as repeated subtraction and formats a division problem in terms of place value.
Chapter 4: Geometry of Place Value revisits the quadratic equations of Chapter 1 and demonstrates how a typical quadratic equation can be seen as the area of a square or rectangle. One factor serves as the length, while the other serves as the width. The chapter also explores how cubes represent place value designations.
Chapter 5: Applications of Place Value presents several common instances of place value in everyday life, along with an interesting way to exploit place value to make computations easier.
