Objectives

For many of us, the storybook shelf isn’t the first place we go to when we start to plan a math lesson.

But children’s books can be a great math teaching tool. They spark students’ imaginations in ways that

exercises in textbooks or workbooks often don’t.Marilyn Burns

BOOK FOR THAT MATH

LESSON!

• Combining mathematics instruction with read alouds is a natural way to integrate mathematics into your daily activities.

• Children learn best when subject matter is meaningful and useful and literature brings meaning to math.

• Using math related children’s literature helps children realize the variety of situations in which people use math for real purposes.
