• Familiarize themselves with a wide variety of math-related children’s literature
• Explore mathematical concepts
• Consider visual models in various texts and in related hands-on activities
• Celebrate the unique role that literature plays in helping students to discover and enjoy math
• Participate in and prepare lessons to use in their own classrooms.
