Combine amazing children's literature with math storytelling. Use these examples of Wixie projects created by students and tweets from classroom teachers to inspire math storytelling in your classroom.
Creative use of technology can engage students, and help you integrate your iPads, PCs, or Chromebooks into the curriculum.
Have students create their own shapes using the tangram pieces and then tell the story of the shape they have created.
Have students tell their own grouchy animal story over the course of a single day to demonstrate their understanding of elapsed time.

We started exploring Wixie for the first time today. Students were challenged to create their own page in a class book inspired by The Shape of Things by Dayle Ann Dodds. I'm impressed with our first day's accomplishments and excited for the final product! @SullyES_LCPS pic.twitter.com/V1VgrGVygZ
