Two of Everything was written by Lily Toy Hong. It is a humorous book about an elderly couple that comes across a brass pot. This pot is magical and doubles whatever you put in it. The couple spends hours doubling the few bits of money they have in order to become wealthy. It is an excellent book pertaining to math. The conflict in the story is when Mrs.Haktak falls in the pot and out come two Mrs.Haktaks! Thankfully the couple comes up with a brilliant idea in order to resolve this conflict and live comfortably.
Heather,
ReplyDeleteSounds like a funny story and one that would capture the students' attention. It would also make a good writer's workshop for the students to write about what they would do if they found the brass pot.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Heather,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this resource. I'm always trying to look for ways to incorporate engaging literature in the other content areas. Sometimes it's a struggle for math...so I look forward to reading this book soon and possibly using it with my math class.
