Mathematics Standards

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.

The Russian Language

The article examines textbooks on the Russian language for the middle school in terms of the presence of texts from children’s and teenage literature. The results of a comparative analysis of six textbooks for 5th grade (edited by Shanskii, M.M. Razumovskaya, S.I. Lvova, L.M. Rybchenkova, A.D. Shmelev, G.G. Granik) are presented. The author also reveals the possibilities of textbooks in introducing teenagers to reading children’s literature of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Elementary And Middle School

<p class="ABS-C">This qualitiative research explores the types and levels of mathematical lesson tasks that 60 future elementary and middle school teachers created during an undergraduate mathematics content and pedagogy course. Data collection consisted of 51 children’s book inspired activities written by the preservice teachers. Using Stein et al.’s Task Analysis Guide as an assessment tool, the researchers coded the activities into 1 of 4 categories, as well as categorized each activity based on its mathematical content using the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. Results showed that a majority of the PSTs wrote activities that were classified as <em>Procedures with Connections</em>. Also, a majority of the activities were geometry-based, specifically transformations and two-dimesional measurements. Implications for teaching include the fact that preservice elementary and middle school teachers can create mathematics lessons based on children’s literature, which often can include mathematical tasks that are making connections to procedural mathematics or even higher order thinking tasks.</p>
