Linking Mathematics and Literature in a Meaningful
Way
Linking Mathematics and Literature in a Meaningful
Way Literacy and mathematics require
development of many of the same skills, including pattern recognition, classifying, organizing thoughts, and solving problems.
Literature can provide a means for mathematics and literacy skills to develop simultaneously as students read, write, listen, and talk about math.
Engagement with literature allows students to connect the abstract language of mathematics to their personal world in a natural way.

A game can provide the platform for students to be reflective about mathematical relationships. It is this reflective thought that promotes growth.

Research tell us … The strongest predictor of earnings nine years
after graduation from high school is the number of mathematics classes the student has taken.
The odds that a student who enters college will complete a bachelor’s degree more than double if that student completed a mathematics course beyond Algebra II content.
Jobs that do not require a college degree, but will support a family and have the potential for advancement require mathematics content that is equivalent to Algebra II, as well as four years of English.
How Teachers Inspire …Although my school days are as
distant a memory to me as my first date, I can vividly recall a few magic moments in learning …
… from USA Today, 6/19/07
Not Lost … Just ExploringSome people choose to live their lives on quiet
avenues
While others find a place in the parade
Some like me … and Claran, and Sharon, and Tom, and Dean , and Linda, and Mary, and Nancy…are seekers
We take less traveled roads
Believing we can find a better way
Not lost … just ExploringAnd though we get discouraged, We won’t be
turning back
We have joy as our compass, and faith as our map …
I am not lost … I am exploringLife is an adventure worth enjoyingThough I may not know where I’m goingI am not lost … I am exploring
Inspire and Explore!
When your student say they are lost … Remember to tell them that they are NOT lost, but they ARE exploring!
Inspire yourselves and your students … to explore the magic world of mathematics.
1. Students come to the classroom with preconceptions about how the world works.
2. To develop competence . . . Students must (a) have a deep foundation of factual knowledge, (b) understand facts and ideas in the context of a conceptual framework, and (c) organize knowledge to facilitate retrieval and application.
3. A “metacognitive” approach to instruction can help students learn to take control.

“I have been about the world – hopping here and there,” said the frog, “and I have seen extraordinary things.”
“Like what?” asked the fish.
“Birds”, said the frog mysteriously. and he told the fish about the birds,
