Today on the podcast we’re talking about the value of integrating literature into the math classroom. Sue O’Connell has decades of experience as an elementary teacher, teaching specialist, and math coach, informing her multifaceted approach to math instruction. She is the lead author on the Math in Practice Series, and most recently the lead author on the Math by the Book series, a K-5 resource for connecting children’s literature and math.

Today, Sue is joined by two of her co-authors on the Math by the Book series, Marcy Myers and Georgina Rivera. Together they explore how literature can enhance math instruction, ideas for choosing pieces of literature, and how to authentically engage children’s whole selves.

Their conversation began by discussing the benefits of integrating literature into primary math lessons.
