Mathematical Problem Solving

I am always looking for children's literature to make and enrich connections to the elementary school curriculum. In particular, books and stories that use mathematical problem solving not only engage children in the narrative but also give them opportunities to see how mathematics is used in everyday life. A Cloak for the Dreamer by Aileen Friedman (1994) investigates relationships among shapes and, at the same time, tells a wonderful story.

Math by the Month features collections of short activities focused on a monthly theme. These articles aim for an inquiry or problem-solving orientation that includes four activities each for grade bands K–2, 3–4, and 5–6. In this issue, students explore mathematical challenges within the context of the Greek gods. Activities are provided for elementary school children to support their exploration of mathematics in everyday situations.
