Abstract

Literature in Mathematics and Science is a series of lessons covering a range of mathematics and science subjects for K-6 students. Each lesson links children’s literature to a specific science and math concept. Use practical, hands-on activities to explore a range of science subjects including astronomy, anatomy, botany, geography, geology, and biology. Have fun with mathematics by slicing and portioning out pizza to understand fractions, playing games to practice arithmetic, and building small businesses to get familiar with making change and budgeting. These interactive, adaptable lessons make a range of STEM subjects fun and accessible for students and teachers. Students will gain skills in all four STEM areas: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Note: This module is designed primarily for K-6 grades. To adapt to higher grades, substitute appropriate literature.
