==== ILLUMINATIONS is a mathematics website resource founded by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. This particular webpage provides teachers with 3 separate lesson plans to help incorporate children’s literature into the mathematics topics of shapes, estimations, and measurement. Each lesson plan is equipped with Learning objectives, materials, and instructional plans. Lesson 1 uses the poem //A Light in the Attic// by Shel Silverstein and allows students to use geometric figures and positional words. The second lesson plan involves the book //Counting on Frank// by where students use estimations with volume to explore the size of humpback whales. Lesson 3 uses the book //How Big Is a Foot// by Rolf Myller where students explore the standard and non-standard unit of measure .====

[]
==== Education World is an excellent resource for teachers who are looking to mix it up with math and literature in the classroom. On this webpage you will read about the personal accounts of two teachers Marilyn Burns and Sharon Powell and their own recommendations for putting literature into the lesson plan. Both teachers profess how important books and stories are to helping students understand mathematics more fully. Throughout the webpage you will find book and website references that these seasoned teachers deemed helpful to the success of their classroom. Some examples of suggested books listed are //Math Solutions// and //Math and Children’s Literature//. ====

[]
==== Mathwire is an internet website resource that provides teachers with mathematics activities by certain seasons. While this site is more geared towards elementary learning it could also be used for lower level middle school lessons or as a starting point for more in-depth mathematical activities for higher grades students. Specifically the fall webpage provides teachers with sample fall activities that deal with geometry topics. The site pairs each geometry activity and lesson with a book that accompanies the lesson nicely. Mathwire would be a great resource for new teachers as well as acting teachers who are interested in integrating literature into their curriculum with fun hands-on activites. ====

[]
==== NCTM.org is the website by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics that provides its users with a wealth of resources to use in the classroom. This particular webpage entitled Integrating Literature, Mathematics, and Science is the first hand account of sixth grade math, science and language arts teacher Jaqueline Ventura and her experiences in incorporating literature into her classroom learning. Mrs. Ventura discusses how by leading the class with a book that opened multiple forms of class discussion and investigations. ====

[]
==== Middle School Portal is great website that offers multiple teacher resources and recommendations. Specifically their Launching through Literature webpage presents users with eleven different books that educators can use to help them teach mathematics more effectively through reading. Each book is on middle grades reading level and presented clearly under a brief explanation of the Launching through Literacy objectives. Each book is listed by title and author followed by a brief synopsis of how each book can be used in a math classroom. ====

==== NCTM.org is the website by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics that provides its users with a wealth of resources to use in the classroom. This particular webpage on the site is entitled Math and Literature and discusses how to incorporate good books with mathematics and how one can find math in all sorts of unexpected places. The webpage lists three example books //The Phantom Tollbooth, Hatchet,// and //Holes.// It provides the books titles, author, and an excerpt from the books where the mathematics can be found. There are also sample questions that follow each excerpt to give teachers examples of questions to ask or where they may find the beginning ideas for a lesson plan. ====

__**Linking Children's Literature to Math**__ A few important notes about this list:

1. Book titles/authors are organized by concept. You may disagree with some of my categorization. I sometimes had a hard time deciding. Know that many of the books could fit multiple categories.

2. Over time, I'll be trying to add OOP notations to books as well as links to "reviews" and "lessons" within my blog.

3. New addition...I'm putting an "*" in front of a few of my favorite titles. Usually it's just because I truly enjoy the book. (I was a language arts and literature teacher before I became obsessed with math!) Sometimes a book becomes a favorite because it made a lesson come alive. Sometimes it's //just because//. Plenty of great books don't have "*"...and some that you love may not be marked.
