Description

This session will focus on using elementary-age children’s texts that both highlight bilingual characters and/or communities and explore math concepts. Session participants will work in small groups to explore different children’s texts about fractions and reflect on ways to use these texts to encourage math conversations in any language and support students’ math identities. We will develop action plan ideas for engaging families at home as well as generate possible math night events based on the texts.  Participants will leave with a comprehensive annotated bibliography, ideas for home-school connections, and books used in session will be raffled.
