Objectives
For many of us, the storybook shelf isn’t the first place we go to when we start to plan a math lesson.
But children’s books can be a great math teaching tool. They spark students’ imaginations in ways that
exercises in textbooks or workbooks often don’t.Marilyn Burns

LESSON!
• Combining mathematics instruction with read alouds is a natural way to integrate mathematics into your daily activities.
• Children learn best when subject matter is meaningful and useful and literature brings meaning to math.
• Using math related children’s literature helps children realize the variety of situations in which people use math for real purposes.
