Math and Literature Connection
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Project
Literature connects math to real life. I want to share books with my students to build connections to math and their lives. This will help linguistic learners who tend to think in words. Books connect math to other subject areas, which helps children innately learn that all subjects are intertwined. This is the first year that I am teaching Math to all seventy fifth-grade students, and I do not have any books that connect Math to things the students can relate to. Literature can support and enhance mathematics instruction. By giving students an image or a real-world situation to connect mathematical procedures and algorithms to has real benefits: It builds their procedural knowledge. It grows their understanding of important concepts
Connecting math to real life gives meaning to “why” math is important. I will share the books with my students as read alouds when we are studying our variety of topics as fifth graders. For example, it will be good for them to see pizza referred to as fraction pieces. I will use the Math review games in centers in my classroom to enhance the skills that the students are learning. They will be able to start making connections to see how Math is literally used in every aspect of our lives.
