Picture Book List (by Math concept) for ALL grades :)

[Regina Cheng]

Here's a list of picture books conducive to introducing, teaching, and/or reviewing math concepts for students at all grade levels.  I can't vouch for all the titles but anything written by Greg Tang, and the Sir Cumference series by Cindy Neuschwander were well received by my middle schoolers.  This list is an excerpt of a larger list:  “Utilizing Picture Books in the Intermediate Grades” Bibliography, developed by Georgina J. Pipes which includes also book titles for Language Arts, Science and Social Studies.
