Integrating Math and Children's Literature

Resources to help facilitate integrating math and children's literature

Picture books allow parents and educators to reduce the barriers to entry to subjects that might otherwise be daunting, in this case math.

Presenting math in a familiar and enjoyable context allows children to grasp mathematical concepts more readily. The tight subject focus that is typical for children's literature and the shorter length of the work make picture books particularly well suited for analysis and discussion.
