Common Core - State Standards Initiative

Fourth grade is a challenging time with students now learning more complicated concepts in math. Students can get instant tutoring with these on-demand videos from math teachers who break down these concepts into easy and short lessons. Teachers go over the concept along with multiple problems to help students complete their assignments.

Lessons on angles, reducing fractions, using money, and other new concepts.

Introduction to algebra and the concept of variables.

Math teachers teach students how to use scratchpad and go about the problem in the best way.

Math in Children's Literature

New Update! Dec. 28, 2016
My goal is to gradually update this list with new links. You can see which sections have been updated by looking for

New! A Math Game List (pdf) is also available. Free!
Access this and other freebies and products through my store.

Latest Update: March 8, 2014
I try to update the following list of Math Books for Kids on a regular basis. You can always access it from the link at the top of the home page.

Why Do I Keep Up This List?
1. I'm addicted to math-related children's books.
2. I teach continuing education courses utilizing this list and many of these books.
3. Most importantly, if you're interested in purchasing any of these books through Amazon, all commissions go toward foster care in China through Grace and Hope at no additional cost to you. I do not keep any money myself. Thank you for making a difference in children's lives! I've provided links but suggest that you look around if a book looks outrageously high. I've noticed that many of the OOP (out-of-print) books have multiple listings...some for pennies and some for hundreds of dollars, often for the same book. Please let me know of new books on the market.

Linking Children's Literature to Math
A few important notes about this list:

1. Book titles/authors are organized by concept. You may disagree with some of my categorization. I sometimes had a hard time deciding. Know that many of the books could fit multiple categories.

2. Over time, I'll be trying to add OOP notations to books as well as links to "reviews" and "lessons" within my blog.

3. New addition...I'm putting an "*" in front of a few of my favorite titles. Usually it's just because I truly enjoy the book. (I was a language arts and literature teacher before I became obsessed with math!) Sometimes a book becomes a favorite because it made a lesson come alive. Sometimes it's just because. Plenty of great books don't have "*"...and some that you love may not be marked.

Math in Children's Literature New Update! Dec. 28, 2016 My goal is to gradually update this list with new links. You can see which sections have been updated by looking for New! A Math Game List (pdf) is also available. Free! Access this and other freebies and products through my store.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Storybooks provide a rich opportunity to build not only literacy skills, but also math understanding. Books with math concepts woven into the pictures and storylines can promote children's mathematical thinking and introduce foundational math concepts such as numbers, shapes, patterns, and measurement. Asking questions and making observations about the math found in picture books can support children's curiosity and enjoyment of math.

Like many engaging pieces of children's literature, the math picture books recommended below contain fun and interesting storylines. Many are rooted in topics kids love (like animals, dinosaurs, magic, oceans, and more!).

For example, " Quack and Count " by Keith Baker is about seven ducklings quacking, sliding, and flying in marshland. Throughout the beautifully illustrated story, the seven ducklings form different groups that can be added and always make seven. While reading, children can explore counting and addition as they practice counting a group of ducks that are not always neatly in a row and in fact may be hard to see-a challenging but enjoyable task.

The most important rule to keep in mind when selecting and reading a math picture book is to enjoy the stories and enjoy the children enjoying the stories! Read often, smile, and laugh. Learn more tips for reading math picture books with young children in this blog post. If you're a teacher educator, find tips for using math picture books in the classroom.

Explore our list of recommended picture books organized by math topic.
