I am so excited for the second installment of
First Grade and Fabulous' picture book linky party! Last week I pinned so many that I thought my board was going to explode!
The theme for this week is math!
I love to use picture books to introduce math concepts. The first one that I would like to share is
Alexander Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday.
I really love this book. Alexander's grandmother gives him some money. He spends some, loses some, and my students really get into it. I always start with the amount of money he gets and then subtract what he spends. I hear lots of "uh-oh"s and "I bet he won't have any left!" A lot of times they will say that Alexander is wasting his money.
When we adopted our new math series (EnVision), we also received several math books written by Stuart J. Murphy. Here are some of my faves:
Head on over and link up! I can't wait to get some new math titles!
Happy Sunday!
I know what you mean about pinning so many great books - our bank balance is taking a hit!
