I am a licensed elementary and HS History educator with multi-grade experience in language arts and history.  I have also worked as an adjunct professor and a community college for history. At every educational level, math and literature can beautifully intertwine to create a wonderful environment for learning. Tangrams, as the introduction to fractions, and the story of Grandfather Tang and Little Soo come together in a magical way for students to create their own story while learning writing and math together. 
None, however, I will be encouraging the students to use the characters they created in class to write a story after class.
