Abstract
This article builds upon earlier work by mathematics colleagues (e.g. Bailey, 2015; Hartnett, 2018; Rogers, 2012) published in the APMC journal regarding the fundamental importance of place value (PV) understanding. In this paper we explore the utility of an iPad app, Place Value Chart, which was custom-designed to support the development of student PV understanding across all primary school year levels. This article also describes an international collaborative effort to support teachers' Mathematics Content Knowledge (MCK) and Mathematics Pedagogical Content Knowledge (MPCK) through the creation of a 25-page teachers' guide outlining the use of the app.
