Got Books? A Story Of Creative Mathematics Children's Book Writing, Maria G. Fung, Pamela Hollander
Got Books? A Story Of Creative Mathematics Children's Book Writing, Maria G. Fung, Pamela Hollander
Journal of Humanistic Mathematics
In this report, we describe a joint project between a mathematics content course and literacy methods course for pre-service elementary teachers that resulted in our students writing children's mathematically themed books. Out report then focuses first on the creative process of combining mathematical knowledge and ideas for teaching with the craft of writing for children, and second on the creative connection between mathematics and literacy education at the elementary school level.

In March 2017, Gizem Karaali interviewed Len Vacher, the editor in chief of Numeracy, the flagship journal of the National Numeracy Network. This is the extended transcript of this conversation, which ranges from quantitative literacy to computational geology, from transfer of learned content and skills to interdisciplinary collaboration.

In this work, a faculty member takes a journey along with students as they enhance their understanding of how people solve mathematical problems through a mainly qualitative statistical project. Student authors of this paper registered for a problem solving seminar led by the faculty author, and then created and analyzed self-built assessment tools to explore problem solving techniques. Here we share our findings and recommendations, which we hope will inspire others to explore novel pedagogical techniques in the teaching of mathematical problem solving. We incorporate into our presentation ur voices, reflecting on how we and others solve problems.
