Searching for something to get kids excited about math? Scrambling for a great resource to share with your colleagues or use in the library? Consider picture books.

Graph Club is a highly effective program to build your students essential graphing skills. This innovative easy-to-use tool enables students to create, explore, interpret and print graphs, helping them make the transition from graphing with manipulatives to graphing in the abstract.

These sites provide resources, ideas, and strategies in teaching math concepts using children’s literature. Covers math topics such as sorting, counting, time, addition and subtraction, fractions, measurement, money, and graphing. Includes lesson plans and book lists by math topic and age.
