Connecting numeracy to literature is such a powerful strategy to engage students. We will explore multiple children’s books and the big, beautiful math problems that we have linked to them, resulting in rich learning experiences for all learners. This session will focus on great stories, problem-solving, engagement, connections, and joy. It will be hands-on, collaborative, and fun!
