Miss Penny Says Prove It! is one volume in a series of instructional math stories designed to help parents, teachers and students Calm, Command and Conquer the Curriculum(R). By integrating a simple story with a detailed learning strategy, the Math MileMarkers(R) books help build strong foundational skills and a deeper understanding of the math concepts that are embedded within. We want children to explore mathematical concepts using interesting characters, great visual models and hands-on activities to guide their discovery. Miss Penny's lively class seeks to find out how many marbles Bobby could possibly have packed into his back pocket. In their quest for an answer, the class encounters important topics such as quantitative understanding of numbers, estimation, counting strategies, and much more. This Math MileMarkers original story uncovers the mathematical journey that young children travel as they work to develop a true understanding of the value of numbers and various ways to count them. Common Core and State Learning Standards clearly outline what children should know and be able to do at each grade. Companion activities including MileMarkers "Math Talk"; which outlines the big ideas presented in each story, and Storyboard Templates; which provide a framework for children to "Retell or Recreate" one of our stories using their own selection of numbers or key ideas, are available at www.mathmilemarkers.com. These story-based projects and conversation prompts, help children interact with the content and vocabulary, and bring the math standards to life in a meaningful way. Math MileMarkers(R) stories and games are the perfect way to help young children build confidence and connect ideas. Please allow us to join you on your mathematical journey.
