“Tyrannosaurus Math” by Michelle Markel

This is another book that mixes math with literature. This is a great book for introducing several math strategies to students. In this book there is a Tyrannosaurus named T-Math. He is very good at math and uses it all the time. On the last page of this book is a list of all the math skills that T-Math uses. From addition and subtraction to skip counting, symmetry, graphs, arrays, estimation, and much more, this dinosaur gives examples of several math strategies. I think this book could be very useful in the math classroom as it gives examples of necessary math skills. I could see myself using sticky notes to cover up numbers or other parts of the problems shown in the book and having my students do the problems to figure out the missing part. I liked that there was a pronunciation guide on the first page to help readers say the names of the dinosaurs correctly. This is definitely a book I would like to have in my future math classroom!
