Reading In Math Class?!?!

My 6th grade math students need a collection of fantastic math related children's books that can help incorporate reading in math class and beyond.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Our school is a high-need school in rural New Mexico. I am a sixth grade math teacher that recognizes the importance of encouraging reading in all content area classes.

The vast majority of students in this area do not have access to quality reading materials. Our school library does not contain enough lower level books that my students can enjoy. Also, there are very few math based literature books in the library. For this reason I am creating a classroom library.

Our classroom library will show students the connection between reading and mathematics. With a wide variety of topics and reading levels covered, students should be able to find a book that will interest them and inspire future reading. This will also provide resources for me as a teacher to teach math through literature.

Your efforts will help students learn that math does not begin and end in a textbook or on a worksheet but is a useful tool to solve fun and important problems in their lives. I believe teaching math through reading is a fun and creative way to inspire children to succeed.
