Further Reading

I also recommend following these websites and journals for newer articles and tips.

• School Library Connection (formerly Library Media Connection) has many short articles with tips for librarians about how to incorporate math in the library, and each issue includes book reviews covering math related topics
• School Library Journal online articles that are tagged with “Math”
• Teaching Children Mathematics (journal)
