I have had the honor of connecting literacy and math with some of my 3rd grade library classes this year. We have had a blast in the library so far. Students have worked on math stations while in the library with one of the stations including books by Greg Tang. They had the opportunity to explore the different books and work through the riddles and problems in the books.
We then started a estimation project. The students were challenged to estimate how many books were in specific genre sections in the library. Students had to use their estimation/rounding skills as well as multiplication. They started their challenge with the following video.
Then, they started to work! They counted the books on the median shelf by 2's, rounded and then multiplied.
Students then used the pic collage app to create a poster and present their findings.
