Connecting numeracy to literature is a powerful strategy to engage students; making these connections in a Thinking Classroom is a game-changer. We have linked our favourite Big Beautiful Math problems to our favourite picture books, and the results have been magical! This session, anchored by Peter Liljedahl's framework, will focus on great stories, problem solving, engagement, connections, and joy. It will be hands-on, collaborative, and fun. I can't wait to share the magic with you!
