Many elementary and middle school mathematics teachers use a particular approach when planning mathematics units. We tend to match a mathematics concept that we want to teach with an activity or material that will convey the needed idea. When we teach fractions. we think of planning a pizza party or partitioning a geoboard. When we teach place value, we think of base-ten blocks or trading games. As we increase our teaching and planning repertoires over the year by adding more and more activities and materials, we make better matches among what we think of as basic curriculum elements: the students' needs. the mathematics topic, and choices of activities and materials. These elements, mixed differently year to year, facilitate many good mathematic lessons. But they may also give us a limited view of curriculum possibilities.

Have You Ever Wondered how to use children's literature in a middle school mathematics classroom? In today's standards-driven environment, aligning activities to various standards is important. Children's books can be the perfect introduction to a unit or lesson. Paying careful attention to the elements in the story and using a little imagination, creativity, and a working knowledge of the mathematics Standards are all the items needed to begin.

Mathematics Standards

Finding The Areas Of Rectangles, TrIangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids through formulas are part of most state mathematics standards and are included in middle school mathematics textbooks. Students are expected to know these formulas and apply them to find the areas of figures shown in textbooks. But as the TIMSS 1995 video study pointed out, students in the united States are seldom given the opportunity to discover the formulas for themselves (Stigler and Hiebert 2004). This article provides activities that prompt students to investigate and discover the formulas, with a teacher's guidance. Finally, students work with a nonstandard unit of area measure, an equilateral triangle, to investigate area formulas using this unit.
