Spotlight Friday - looking at math! 10.13.17


Time to get ready for the weekend!
Kick up your feet and find a good place to read.
Sharing #booklove for your classroom or library.
Spotlighting a book or two because these books deserve the spotlight!

It seems like no matter what you're teaching in math, there is a book to use for that!  Some new(er) books you may want to add to your curriculum:

Twinderella, a Fractioned Fairy Tale by Corey Rosen Schwartz

A great book to use when you're introducing fractions!  Using a familiar story in a fractured way (see what I did there???) kids will love this new take that can be used over different areas of curriculum.
