5.0 out of 5 stars A Second Grade National Board Teacher Loves This Book!, September 4, 2000

This review is from: Math and Literature: K-3 (Math & Literature (K-3)) (Paperback)

As a reading specialist, I'm always looking for ways to integrate quality children's literature into my content area lessons. When I read this book, I could not put it down! It is full of easy, practical lessons. These lessons encourage children to think, develop their own math strategies, and use writing or drawings to show how they solved mathematical problems. I liked this book so much, that I wrote a grant to purchase this book and the 21 trade books used for the lessons. I highly recommend this!

This review is from: Math And Literature, Grades 2-3 (Paperback)

This book has some great ideas for ways to get your students interested in math but by starting with literature. The story is what brings them to math. I tried one the first week of school and the class loved it. The lessons are fully scripted and the students are promptly engaged in the lesson. I heard things like "this is fun." "I hope we do this again." I teach 2nd grade and many of the examples are for 3rd grade but you can adapt them to your level. Hope you like it too.
