Pigeon Math Book
Pigeon Math is Asia Citro’s first picture book. The narrator is trying to tell a story but the pigeons keep flying back and forth from the line disrupting the story of the narrator. It’s comical. It’s educational. And, it’s a super creative math-related book perfect for enjoying as a read-aloud and extending into further learning.

This opened-ended activity allows students to use the story mats to create different word problem stories using the pigeons and cat on the different weather and time mats.
Students can tell their stories orally, record them via audio, write them down, or draw pictures to show their thinking.
