Deepening Student's Mathematical Understanding with Children's Literature

Deepening Students’ Mathematical Understanding with Children’s Literature focuses on using high quality children’s books to create engaging and meaningful tasks that deepen mathematics learning for pre-K and elementary students, consistent with state-adopted standards. With the perspective of practice based on theory, the authors provide resources to help teachers develop background knowledge for deciding why, when, and how to incorporate children’s literature effectively. Relevant exemplars illustrate principles and guidelines for selecting and utilizing children’s literature to provide meaningful mathematics experiences for all students.
