This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Using literature in math lessons can enhance learning in many ways. It can help build an intangible perception of math skills through illustrations, as well as help students build problem-solving skills. In addition, it can provide a meaningful context for mathematical content, review mathematics concepts, promote the development of number sense, model interesting problems, promote critical thinking, and increase the level of interest. Our math curriculum often references picture books I just don't have! Help me bring those into my classroom.
Math becomes more interesting when a child can make a math connection in a story.
When children are reading or listening to a book, they learn to recognize that math is used all around them. Students begin to use their prior knowledge to connect math concepts to the outside world.
Please help bring many amazing math titles into the hands of my students! Such books include books about mathematicians like Magic: The Story of Mathematician Maryam, The Brilliant Calculator: How Mathematician Edith Clarke Helped Electrify America, and others. Other books that help students explore math concepts like Tangled: A Story About Shapes, Let's Estimate: A Book About Estimating and Rounding Numbers, and On the Launch Pad: A Counting Book About Rockets other great books. Thank you in advance for your help!
