For many students, there is a love-hate relationship with reading & math. Some students love reading and hate math while others feel the opposite. K-5 Math Teaching Resources, a New York math teaching consulting firm, compiled several lists of engaging books on math topics. These stories do not simply insert math facts into the narrative, but truly help explain concepts like multiplication, division and fractions. For example the book, The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins shares the story of many guests who come by for tea. The main characters, Victoria and Sam, need to make sure there are enough cookies for everyone using division. Incorporating literature into math practice can help with solving real word problems and developing logic. Books like this are a great way to show math is part of everyday life. We hope you check out some of these titles and share them with your child!
