It includes examples and comparisons the students can easily understand and follow along. Although the story is a bit long and can get overwhelming with all the examples given, students will have a better understanding of how much is a million, trillion, and billion. ( ) I thought this book was kind of boring, but I liked the idea of it. The book relates how big the numbers millions, billions, and trillions are. It tells the reader that taking 1/4 a cup of sugar is about one million granules of sugar. I think seeing all of the sugar granules would really put it into perspective how many granules of sugar make up one million. I liked the different variations of examples the book used, I thought it could peak anyone's interest. They used money, food, space, granules of sugar and many more examples of millions, billions, and trillions. A book that covers the concept of millions, billions, and trillions, to help improve a child's number sense. The book is an okay book to use for this concepts. The definition of each term was clear. After reading this book I child should understand that a million is less than a billion and a billion is less than a trillion. It did a fairly good job demonstrating how the numbers are written and when are they mostly used in terms of measurement. The book failed in its goal to help the reader to understand how large these numbers are. The author used such examples as for how much pizza one million dollars could buy and how many popcorn bags could one trillion popped kernels would fill. These examples did not help with the understanding of how large these numbers are. Overall I don't think I would use this book to teach this concept. This book shows students how the numbers are written in the millions, billions, and trillions. Also shows how much something would be to be in that certain such as million, billion, and trillion. It also shows how many zeros are in each million, billion, and trillion. This is a good book to show students when learning about how to distinguish their numbers. no reviews | add a review

Huge numbers are hard to comprehend. This book explains quantities in terms children can understand. For example, one million dollars could buy two full pizzas a day for more than sixty-eight years. No library descriptions found. |
