Two experts on education offer a rich and diverse selection of
children's literature and teaching strategies for the K-8
mathematics classroom. Taking advantage of quality, motivating
literature during mathematics instruction pays off, especially when
teachers and media specialists work together to convey crucial
mathematical concepts and standards. Mathematics in the K-8
Classroom and Library shows you how it's done. After an
introduction to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics's
(NCTM) Principles and Process Standards, each remaining chapter is
devoted to an NCTM content standard. The book offers engaging,
research-based strategies and booklists of specific titles that,
together, can be used to increase student achievement. The
strategies suggested here provide a hands-on, student-centered
focus that allows students to make connections with prior learning,
personal experiences, and good books. Both the recommended
children's books and the activities will appeal even to reluctant
readers and students for whom mathematics might be a challenge.
Each chapter includes an extensive, annotated list of texts, dozens
of hands-on activities, handouts, and writing prompts. Annotations
for 200 children's books with math-related themes Research-based
teaching strategies that are essential for the urban and diverse
learner Detailed journal prompts that encourage writing in the math
classroom and library Handouts for engaging, hands-on math
activities Online resources for teaching math A K-8 bibliography of
literature suitable for teaching mathematical concepts
