Abstract
Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 2000) recommends that the elementary school curriculum provide opportunities for students to connect mathematics with other subject areas. The elementary school science curriculum is one area in which such connections are natural. In particular, National Science Education Standards (NRC 1996) recommends that mathematics and science be integrated “to enhance student use and understanding of mathematics in the study of science and to improve student understanding of mathematics” (p. 214). With the increasing availability of children's books that have strong mathematics and science connections, opportunities arise for teachers to connect language arts, mathematics, and science in ways that appeal to children.
