Math is found in all kinds of stories, but how do we connect the reading of a story to significant math learning? Real learning comes from authentically and purposefully linking a story to important mathematical concepts and then, through the story context, exploring those concepts more deeply. Math by the Book is a K–5 resource dedicated to teaching mathematics strategically through literature. Children’s literature offers memorable opportunities to discuss mathematical ideas and connect those ideas to meaningful contexts.


Stories create a space where students can explore their mathematical thinking and understanding in unique ways. Packaged with Bilal Cooks Daalby Aisha Saeed-and highlighting 20 different children's books-this resource will support teaching and learning throughout the year.
