When parents ask "What did you do in math today?" the common reply is "Nothing" or "I don't know." Using hands-on activities, I will share ideas from grades 1–5 research classrooms, where students engage with "math worth talking about" through children's literature and use the arts for developing communication skills and sharing good math stories.

Presentation Format: Research Session
