From my first career as a classroom teacher of remedial math to 3rd - 5th grade students, I always felt that if my students could understand place value, they could more easily move on to performing basic computations. There are some additional things I would do to scaffold the learning for this audience but in the interest of avoiding scope creep, I tried to keep this simple.
A couple community members unknowingly contributed to this project. The format is based on a template from Wiebe Dijkstra and Bob, the “virtual agent”, is a character from a collection of characters Chris Perez offers. Thanks for all the inspiration from these and others in the community.
