Must Read Mentor Text and The Winners Are...

Today I am linking up with Collaboration Cuties for the Must Read Mentor Text Linky.  This week we are linking mentor text for math.

Perimeter, Area, and Volume:  A Monster Book of Dimensions is written by David A. Adler.  This book was not only a great resource for my lesson, but the students truly enjoyed reading it. 

Here is a short description from Scholastic’s Book Wizard:

This star-studded cast of cute and funny monsters needs measuring! How tall are they? How wide? And before the movie begins it's time to calculate the perimeter of the film set, the area of the movie screen, and the volume of a monster's popcorn box. Written by a former math teacher, this creative and brightly illustrated picture book provides a thorough overview of essential math concepts.

 

I read the book to them while projecting it on the SMARTboard.  I also gave each group a copy of the book.  The book is very interactive and requires the students to complete activities along the way. 

We solved some of the activities together and some of them the students solved in their small groups.  Then we would come together to discuss their solutions.

Be sure to stop by Collaboration Cuties to learn about other Must Read Mentor Texts for math. 

Now, it is time for me to announce the winners of my PlaceValue Task Cards for Upper Grades.  

The winners are…
