Nov 13 ~ Numbers
Picture books aid students in visualizing mathematics within a narrative context. (from the Picture Book Month Teacher’s Guide: Why Picture Book Belong in Our Classrooms by Marcie Colleen, 2013).
Did you ever think of a number as being an important part of a story? Take the three little pigs, as an example. How would the story be different if there were six pigs? Or only two? Or what if Snow White stumbled upon a house of twenty dwarves? Change up the numbers in your favorite stories and see how it all adds up to creative writing fun!
