Children’s literature can provide a wonderful context for teaching math skills and concepts. The books do not have to be those that were written to teach math, but simply ones that show math in action. Each week, Sue posts a favorite book and an idea for how it connects to mathematics on her Facebook group: Math in Practice/Sue O’Connell.
