Beth's Bookshelf: Eat Your Math Homework
http://bethsbookshelf.blogspot.com/2011/09/eat-your-math-homework.html
Saturday, September 10, 2011. Eat Your Math Homework. My favorite new book for the math classroom is Eat Your Math Homework Recipes for Hungry Minds. By Ann McCallum. Students won't report to class claiming their dog ate their homework with activities such as the ones McCallum has cooked up. These tasty recipes can be followed at home or at school for a tasty snack of milk and math. Invite parents to join the class and assist small groups of children as they cook up some math.

Beth's Bookshelf: March 2011
http://bethsbookshelf.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. One is a snail, Ten is a Crab. Author April Pulley Sayre has written a book that takes the classic "counting by feet" problem to a whole new level. Beautiful illustrations of beach scenes depict various sea creatures. In the beginning the reader is simply counting by the number of legs in each scene. After the initial introductions, we see different combinations of legs that help us count up to 100. Article, Legs, Legs, Legs. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. A Very Improbable Story.

Beth's Bookshelf: Ten Flashing Fireflies
http://bethsbookshelf.blogspot.com/2011/07/ten-flashing-fireflies.html
Friday, July 22, 2011. What do we see in the summer night? Ten flashing fireflies burning bright! Catch the one twinkling there. One flashing firefly in our jar.". One of my favorite childhood memories is sitting on my grandmother's porch at dusk waiting for the fireflies. Some nights all of the cousins would happily run around and try to catch them other nights we would lazily watch as in unison they seemed to float into the tree tops. What other ideas might you have for using Ten Flashing Fireflies.
