The above link will take you to a long list of literature books about different math topics. These books are picture and story books about common math topics that students will be learning about in their appropriate grade level. There are book for grades 3-12 and these books range from multiplication to fractions to statistics and so on. The first book on the list is titled A Gebra Named Al. This book is about Algebra. You would never think that a book about Algebra could be a fun story about a Zebra. But I think it would be fun for middle schoolers to go back to the basics of reading picture and story books to help make Algebra a more relatable and fun topic to learn. This is a good resource for teachers who are struggling to get their students engaged in learning and teachers who are struggling to connect literacy and math.

This was so helpful! I feel like finding math reading activities is so hard, but this is a great list. I found a book in there called The Principal’s New Clothes and there was an online version, so I read through it and it was so helpful. It even prompts the students to make inferences, “but they were not really tailors. They were tricksters.” Thank you for sharing.
