Teacher Resources for Using Literature in Mathematics Teaching

In addition to assisting teachers in using Literature in the teaching of Mathematics, parents may also find these books useful as resources containing good literature with which they may reinforce mathematics concepts with their children simply by reading and discussing the books.


MathStart books, created by Stuart Murphy, tell stories every kid can relate to and enjoy, while helping them understand that math is much more than a school subject—it’s all around us and in everything we do!Each book in the MathStart series includes suggestions for group or individual exercises that reinforce math concepts presented in the story, easy-to-do activities, and a bibliography of children’s books that feature similar math concepts.

A great series, available for ages 3 and up. Visit these websites to learn more:
