My Project

People don’t think of reading when they think of math, but there are so many great books around the concept of math and math medical thinking.

I want my students to be exposed to books that center around mathematical thinking.

In order to do this, they need fun, engaging books, as well as a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy them in.

I have selected some fun, fictional books that I believe my students will enjoy and want to also set up my math classroom with cushions and bean bag chairs to make it feel more comfortable to read in.
