WEBINAR DESCRIPTION

Children’s literature captivates students’ interest and sets a context for engaging learning experiences, but could a single story be used for both mathematics and ELA lessons? Join Sue O’Connell, lead author of the Math by the Book series, to explore ways to use children’s literature to provide a context for K-5 math investigations and to prompt reading/writing tasks. Gather ideas for lessons that support thoughtful learning across content areas.

Sue O’Connell is a leader in K-5 mathematics education with years of experience as an elementary teacher, reading specialist, math coach, and professional learning specialist. Sue is the lead author for Heinemann's Math in Practice and Math by the Book series, and is the developer of hand2Mind’s newly released Navigating Numeracy Learning Progression Centers. She is a frequent speaker at local, state, and national conferences.
