Early Literacy + Early Numeracy = Academic Success When it comes to math, educators can feel the same tension they see in their students-from uncertainty and anxiety to a lack of confidence in their own skills. This mindset creates barriers in teaching and learning and perpetuates disparities in achievement. Readers Read. Writers Write. Mathers Math!: Bridging the Gap Between Literacy and Mathematics introduces a groundbreaking framework to support educators in transforming their own math identities and creating classrooms that redefine the concept of literacy to include numeracy, so that every student feels capable, confident, and excited about math. Author Deborah Peart Crayton challenges the notion that math is optional; instead she empowers educators to build a positive relationship with math while helping their students do the same. Grounded in the belief that math, like literacy, is essential for navigating the world, this book offers strategies and tips to reshape math instruction and create a supportive environment where every student thrives. Through storytelling, practical tools, actionable plans, and "mathfirmations," this book * Redefines mathematics as a vital part of life * Applies literacy teaching strategies to math instruction to inspire math engagement outside of the traditional block * Integrates math into reading, writing, and other subjects for meaningful, cross-curricular learning * Uses oral traditions, visual storytelling, and interdisciplinary methods to create a joyful, rich, and holistic learning experience Whether you're building confidence in your own math skills or looking to foster a community of math enthusiasts in your classroom, this book will equip you to lead the way. By viewing math as an essential life skill rather than an exclusive discipline, every child can realize their potential as a Mather!
Deborah Peart Crayton is the founder and Queen Mather of My Mathematical Mind. She started the #MatherMovement to disrupt the idea that math is optional. Deborah is a sought-after keynote speaker and dynamic elementary education consultant. With over 30 years in the field of education, Deborah speaks on a variety of topics related to math identity, elementary math content and instructional practices, and literacy connections to mathematics. She has shared her message at the local, regional, and national levels at state, district, and community events, and educational conferences. Deborah is an expert at creating invitational and nurturing environments to cultivate positive mathematical identities, and has served in that capacity as a mentor and coach for elementary educators for over 20 years. She has had success with adapting instruction while maintaining grade-level expectations and possesses a deep knowledge of instructional practices and frameworks to engage all learners, including Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI), Math Recovery, the Orton-Gillingham Approach, and Mathematical Language Routines (MLR). Deborah holds a bachelor's degree in speech communications and early childhood education, a master's degree in educational studies with a concentration in literacy, graduate endorsements in elementary mathematics and teacher development, and is pursuing a doctorate degree in education program development and innovation. Her research interests are focused on the connections between math anxiety and math teaching efficacy and effective practices for developing high-quality professional learning. Deborah has dedicated her career and doctoral studies to supporting educators with innovative teaching strategies that allow students to see themselves as assets to the learning community and curious problem-solvers. Deborah believes that all children deserve high-quality instruction and the opportunity to become competent readers, writers, and mathers.
