3. Linking math to children’s literature can: * Spark children’s interest in learning mathematics. * Provide contexts that bring meaning to mathematical ideas. * Tie mathematics to another area of the curriculum. * Support student understanding through communication.

4. How do you choose a book to use? * Select books that are of a high quality from a literary perspective. * Look for literature that presents content that is mathematically sound and grade level appropriate. * Carefully consider the potential the book has for helping students learn to think and reason mathematically. List by Carolyn Felux, Math Solutions

5. Online Lesson Resources Mathster Vakkas Mathster Vakkas – Math Read Alouds on video along with teaching videos with a problem for students to solve.
