PIGS ON THE MOVE:FUN WITH MATH & TRAVEL- LESSON PLAN WITH ACTIVITIES

"Pigs on the Move" by Amy Axelrod is a great book for integrating literature into a math lesson. The lesson plan focuses on helping 2nd or 3rd graders practice addition and subtraction through a fun and engaging story about pigs going on a journey. The lesson begins with a read-aloud of the book, where students follow the pigs' travels. Afterward, students solve math problems related to the distances the pigs travel, adding and subtracting miles. They'll work in pairs or small groups to map out the pigs' route, using simple calculations to determine how far the pigs have traveled and how much farther they need to go. This lesson combines reading comprehension with practical math skills, making learning enjoyable and relevant.
