Dear Parents, 

 
We are beginning our unit on Place Value. This is one of the most important units we will study, 
as most of our math topics build on this topic! We hope this Study Guide will help you 
understand what we are learning in class. We also want this to serve as a tool to help your child 
with math at home.  
 
Please let us know if you have any questions!
