Mathematics instruction in today's classrooms is often looked upon as a chore, rather than something to be enjoyed. This book gives numerous examples of how to integrate mathematics in a fun way in your classroom, while at the same time following the curriculum standards established for your classroom. We need to change student's attitudes towards math, so that they see it as a necessary component of life, as well as something that more than just irrelevant computations. The suggestions in this book can be implemented easily into any classroom, as well as in the home. Definitely purchase this book, and help start to improve the negative attitudes that exist today about mathematics.

I have taken a few courses with David Whitin and he has shown me that the ideas in this book really work! If you teach elementary school, you MUST get this book. It is a must-have for every teacher!

This book is a must-have for teaching K-6 math. I have referred to it over and over again for great ideas on how to hook students with literature when teaching math. The across curriculum approach is imperative and this book is a wonderful resource.
