Math Group Book Report Idea:

For a third grade math book report we thought a fun thing to do that will help the children learn the best would be to read the book, and pick out numbers from the book, (hopefully fractions and decimals, since that is our subject) and we would then have them compile a collage of pictures from a magazine representing the fractions in which they have chosen. For example if a child picks a fraction like 2/3, then they will pick those numbers out of a book and find pictures that represent it, like 2 green frogs and one black one. That would make three frogs and two are green so 2/3. We think that would help the children to understand more clearly on what fractions are trying to represent. It would be hands-on and also integrate reading.
