A Fictional History of Place Value

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Your class can explore standard and expanded notation, as well as computation with regrouping. They listen to a make-believe story about cavemen and the origin of numerals and place value. Then apply what they learned about renaming and trading to traditional addition and subtraction with regrouping.
