Lemonade for Sale
1. In this book the kid's tree house has begun to break and they have run out of money in their piggy banks! So the kids decide to make a lemonade stand to make some money and decide to record their sales with a bar graph in order to keep track of how much they sell on different days.
2. The mathematical concept that is represented in this book is the use of bar graphs to record real world data with the kid's recording how many glasses they sell on which day.
3. I think that literature, especially picture books, is a good way to teach a mathematical concept because the concept is broken down into a story. the context that the concept is used in can help a person to learn it because it is being applied to a specific scenario.
I feel the same way about literature in mathematics. I liked your story and thought it was an interesting way to describe the topic based on your summary.
