And I'm back! Did you miss me? Two weeks ago, I shared with you Making the connection between literature and math (part 1). As promised, here is part two :)
In addition to the five books I will share with you today, I'm also providing links to amazing blog posts and TpT products from some of the great collaborators here at ATUE.
10 amazing math books to make a connection with in your classroom
In no particular order of preference, here are the second 5:

Dinosaur Deals by Stuart Murphy
Age Range: 3 - 8
math connection: equivalency and measurement
This incredibly adorable tale is about a little boy on a quest to complete his dinosaur trading card collection. In order to get the card he needs, he has to make many deals and understand equivalency so as not to be taken advantage of. Despite the reading level being so young, this works very well with 3rd, 4th and 5th graders working with equivalencies in both fractions and measurement!

Blockhead, the story of Fibonacci
by Joseph D'Agnese
Age Range: 6-9 years
Lexile level: 570L
mathematical concepts: patterns!
Much like Pythagoras in the above mentioned books, Leonardo Fibonacci was a daydreamer, He used to get lost in numbers and patterns and was often called a Blockhead for not 'paying attention'. As he grew older he found mathematical connections in nature and life and discovered the pattern he is most known for today! Not so much of a Blockhead now....eh?

Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday
by Judith Viorst
Age Range: 4 and up
Lexile level: 570L
mathematical concepts: money and money management
Every kiddo has been there... they want to save money but things are way more fun to purchase! Alexander (the same one who had a Terrible, no good, very bad day? yep, one in the same!) received a dollar from his grandparents and was very excited to start saving... unfortunately for him, it was really too easy to spend. So easy, in fact, that he didn't even realize it was all gone....
