Keep Calm & Carry on
with Math in The Library
REALLY?!
WHY ?
HOW?

KEEP CALM.
Really! We can do math!
Librarians thoughts on math
teachers
Math teachers are under a lot of pressure
and dont have room in the curriculum
I dont know math well
We dont really have math books
Math teachers have their own tech
I dont know how to help
Im not able to make tech purchasing
decisions
The math teachers are too busy to co-plan

Math teachers thoughts on the
school librarians..
I dont think the librarian really knows math
I find my own resources
Theres no way I can fit anything else into
my curriculum
I dont need help in my class
Tech gets in the way
I already get the PD I need
The librarian is so busy
Weve never tried that


But first, we need to address common perceptions

Grade 6 Lesson on Understanding,
Representing, and Applying Rates
21
st
century learning standards
2.2.1 - Demonstrate flexibility in the
use of resources by adapting
information strategies to each specific
resource and by seeking additional
resources when clear conclusions
cannot be drawn.
2.3.1 - Connect understanding to the
real world.
Common Core Standards:
CSS.Math.Content.6.RP.A.2
Understand the concept of a unit
rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b
with b 0, and use rate language in
the context of a ratio relationship.

Using Google Maps Classic
Students will compare the ratio
relationship between distance
and time for each route saved
within Google Maps.
Using Google Maps Engine Lite
With the new Google maps
You can type in locations, save them, add layers, organize
places and visualize data in the map
Using Google Maps in the Classroom
