Description

Rooted in real-life math experiences, the book explores innovative ways you can teach math principles using the best children's books. This simple book shows teachers how to select, organize, and use literature to connect children with real-world math. Committed to creating long-lasting positive math memories, it goes beyond reading about math and encourages linking text with relevant manipulatives in a hands-on, minds-on, problem-solving environment. The book is organized around the five math strands — number sense and numeration; measurement; geometry and spatial sense; patterning and algebra; and data management and probability. It offers a wealth of activities rooted in children's literature that deal with concepts including problem solving, reasoning, communication, making connections, and representing math in a variety of ways. Book lists, reproducible activities, and assessment strategies support this remarkable book.
