Connecting Math and Literature

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is pleased to offer a resource for K-8 teachers for creating a math library for children to connect math and literature. It includes a bibliography of books at each grade level that address the five strands presented in the Mathematics Curriculum Frameworks: number sense and operations; patterns, relations, and algebra; geometry; measurement; and data analysis, statistics and probability.
