Literature Connections

 * In Investigations 2nd Edition, a selection of children’s literature and Activity Book relating to the mathematical content of a specific unit as well as books about general mathematics topics is included in every Family Letter in grades 3-5. These books are offered as one of the ways that families can support their child’s mathematical experiences at home. Many teachers also like to display a selection of these books on the classroom bookshelf over the course of a unit. These books are suggestions and are not required to teach the content of the curriculum units.
