You are to select a piece of childrens literature that can be developed into a problem-solving lesson or that can be used to provide the context (theme) for a series of mathematics lessons. The piece of literature (i.e. a childrens storybook) you select may be either: (a) a story that deals directly with a mathematical concept or (b) a story that can be used as a theme for generating problems. The problem addressed should not be simply counting the number of objects in a picture but involve higher-order concepts. Write a one-page paper detailing the mathematical concept being explored. Include the book title, author, possible grade level, and mathematics topic. Be sure to include how you will differentiate the lesson for all students.
The book is Two of everything by Lily Toy Hong, found on YouTube read aloud.
