to the lovely couple
Math and Literature!
Math and Literature...a perfect match! There's no better way to teach a math concept, enhance the learning of a skill or supplement math texts than by using wonderful stories!
On this page I list math topics and skill areas and the titles and authors of books that can be used in planning lessons to address these areas. These are some of the first grade skills we cover, and it is by no means exhaustive! I will continue to update the lists with new titles, so check back often!
