Why do we say eleven and twelve instead of ten-one and ten-two?
How the 2-Digit Numbers Got Their Names is a playful picture storybook that helps children uncover the hidden place value structure behind English number names. Join the Master of Order on a journey as his clear and organised thinking becomes completely muddled by the Goblins of Chaos. Along the way, young readers discover why some number names seem confusing - and how our base-10 number system really works.
Designed to support early numeracy and mathematical understanding, this book encourages children to notice patterns, ask questions, and build deeper confidence with numbers.
Perfect for:
- children learning place value,
- parents supporting early maths skills,
- and teachers looking for engaging classroom discussions about number systems and language.
A fun, thoughtful, and visually engaging introduction to the structure behind the numbers we use every day.
