It's time for another great literature connection- this time focusing on comparing 2D shapes. In this book, Which One Doesn't Belong?...

If you haven't seen my growing post of math picture books, you will want to check it out here . I try to add a new book each month and was so excited when our library added a few new books. (I think they know I'm checking them all out!) This month, I'm bringing a new book from Greg Tang that connects art with problem solving. I love this book for so many reasons. Math-terpieces combines the beautiful art from several amazing artists with mathematics that encourages proble
