Using picture books with mathematical content can be an constructive way to engage students and explore problems within entertaining contexts. (read more)The visual elements of a quality picture typesetting can illustrate a concept in ways it may be nonflexible to do with other resources. For example, the pictures of a hundred ants marching in variegated arrays as they try to pick up some speed to reach the picnic (see One Hundred Hungry Ants by Elinor J. Princzes) can be difficult to organise on the mat! The use of a narrative supports problem solving as students have a reason within the story to solve and to figure. A picture typesetting can be used as an introduction to a concept, as a launch pad to remoter explore an idea, or as a prompt for a discussion and debate.It is important to select books that are of upper quality from both a literary and a mathematical perspective. Evaluate the mathematics within the typesetting prior to sharing it with your students and decide on some directions you are interested in pursuit with questions or response activities.Questions to help guide your selection of books to use within maths classes:Does the typesetting present content that is mathematically sound and towardly for the level of your students?Does the typesetting provide opportunities to introduce or reinforce mathematical symbols and vocabulary?Is the typesetting constructive for supporting students to think and reason mathematically?Will the typesetting help build students' appreciation of both mathematics and literature?This checklist has been well-timed from one created by Marilyn Burns in her article: Easy as Pi: Picture books are perfect for teaching math.
