Abstract
Most students love a good story! When we use children's literature as a context to explore functional relationships, our students are more motivated to learn. In this article, we share how we use children's literature in courses for prospective middle-grades teachers to explore and deepen these teachers' understanding of functions. We expect prospective teachers to teach functions to their future middle-grades students with understanding; therefore, we use literature to help them develop a personal understanding of functions that is connected and comprehensive.
