And while it might seem obvious to use literature to teach reading, comprehension and grammar, I think it's just as useful and engaging to use literature to teach and explore math! And so, at this time of year, when we are reading stacks and stacks of Christmas books, I'm constantly looking for ways to incorporate math into our holiday festivities. Today I'm sharing a Christmas Tree Farm math Keep Reading...

So rather than jumping into subtraction as a completely new concept (disconnected from anything we've previously done), we're simply rearranging our number bonds. While we started with Keep Reading...
