Use of mathematics-related literature can engage students' interest and increase their understanding of mathematical concepts. A quasi-experimental study of two second-grade classrooms assessed whether daily inclusion of geometry-related literature in the classroom improved attitudes toward geometry and achievement in geometry. Consistent with the hypothesis, only the students in the classroom with a strong emphasis on geometry-related children's literature showed a significant improvement in their attitudes about geometry over time. While both classes improved their geometry performance over the 4 weeks of the study, the class with a strong emphasis on geometry-related literature improved significantly more (51.2%) than the control class (33.47%). Children's literature can provide a useful and interesting context in which students can develop their understanding of geometry.

几何相关儿童文学提高二年级学生几何成绩和态度

使用与数学相关的文献可以引起学生的兴趣并增加他们对数学概念的理解。一项针对两个二年级教室的准实验研究评估了课堂中每天包含几何相关文献是否会改善对几何的态度和几何成就。与假设一致，只有课堂上高度重视与几何相关的儿童文学的学生随着时间的推移对几何的态度有了显着改善。虽然这两个班级在 4 周的研究中都提高了他们的几何表现，但强调几何相关文献的班级 (51.2%) 比控制班级 (33.47%) 提高了更多。孩子们'
