When a science teacher asked me for book recommendations and I decided to make it
a post to share with my fellow teachers, it made me remember a couple of years ago when a math teacher made the same request. This made me want to share that list as well.
This list is was originally a list for a 6th grade teacher to use as read alouds and/or independent reading, but as I have worked on expanding it, it has grown to include books for older and younger students. I didn't include many picture books though there are tons of math picture books. I tried to stay with 4th and up.
Novels with Math Content
This list contains books that I recommended to her and have read as well as books that I added this week because of research and with the help of some friends on Twitter.
