Synopsis

Math Mammoth Place Value 2 is a short worktext dealing with place value and three-digit numbers.

The first lessons present three-digit numbers using a visual model of the base-ten blocks (hundred-flats, ten-pillars, and one-cubes) and number lines. To reinforce the important concept of place value, children practice separating three-digit numbers into their different "parts" (hundreds, tens, and ones), and making numbers from these parts.

Next, we study skip-counting by tens, by twos, and fives. Then students compare and order three-digit numbers, including comparing simple number expressions.

After this, we study rounding three-digit numbers to the nearest ten and to the nearest hundred. Lastly, the book includes a lesson on reading bar graphs and pictographs, which provide a nice real-life application for using three-digit numbers.

About this title

About the Author

Maria Miller was born and grew up in Finland where she also received a master's degree in mathematics in 1997. She loves math and teaching, so becoming a math teacher was a natural career for her. Miller started writing math books in 2002, prompted by her experiences in tutoring homeschooled children. She felt the books they were using were inferior, especially when it came to conceptual understanding of mathematics, so she began to write books that focus on the concepts and the "why" of mathematics, though not forgetting the "how" and the needful practice. Over the years, her materials have become popular and appreciated, both among parents and teachers. In her free time, she likes walking, bicycling, swimming, reading, helping out with Inspire4.com, playing piano, and listening to music.
