Description
Read: Read Teaching Geometry and Measurement Through Literature and Are You Really Going to Read Us a Story? Learning Geometry Through Children’s Literature.
Prompt:
In the article Teaching Geometry and Measurement Through Children’s Literature,there is a sentiment expressed by what the authors call a “composite middle school mathematics teacher”
"I’m a math teacher. I haven’t had any training or experience in this area, so I don’t really
know what literature is out there to teach math and where to find it."
Are there reasons beyond lack of experience that may keep teachers from utilizing literature in their classes? Finally, did you find anything in either article that encourages you to try something new in one of your own classes?
