This Plus That: Life's Little Equations by Amy Rosenthal

Rosenthal, Amy. This Plus That: Life's Little Equations. New York: HarperCollins, 2011. 32p.  

In this book, Amy Rosenthal portrays seasons, feelings, locations, character traits and much more through illustrated equations using various operations. When combined with Mathematickles by Betsy Franco, this is a creative resource for poetry units. Pages of the book (like equations for "sincere apology" and "polite") can also be used as models for students as they create their own character education equations showing people how to treat one another. Additionally, this book can be used in math classes to help students understand the meanings of signs and operations.
