Non-Fiction: Math for all Seasons

I chose the non-fiction book: Math for All Seasons, written by Greg Tang and illustrated by Harry Briggs. This book is a math book using the four seasons to create riddles within the illustrations for children to solve. For example, one page talks about fireworks during summer time and asks the children to count each spark of light in the picture. The book begins with the spring season and ends with winter. The parents are also given the answers and tips on how to calculate the solutions at the back of the book.
This book received an rating of excellent and fits the genre of non-fiction as it teaches children about seasons and math. This book may not have been an informative or factual type of book but is an educational book that focuses on supporting learning math, therefore it is an non-fiction book.
When discussing the six elements of social justice, this book does not directly address the six elements, however, this book may addresses the element of self-love and knowledge. Children may become more knowledgable about seasons through the book and learn that other have different views than the illustrations may illustrate.
In my classroom, I would use this book when talking about seasons to help teach concepts of seasons within the illustrations while also practicing their math skills in solving the riddles within the stories. This activity would allow students to learn about the four seasons while also learning math and riddle solving.
