Have you ever “chortled?”
Today is the birthday of the mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who is better known as Lewis Carroll the author of Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking Glass. A “chortle” is a kind of muffled laugh, it is included in Dodgen’s book Through the Looking Glass, and it is one of the many nonsense words he created. His books are hardly all nonsense though. A fascinating story from NPR shares
that the first version of the Alice story that he wrote for the real Alice Liddel had no mathematical references, but the books now contain many clever math references.
Your students will be able to study math and vocabulary with my Math Topics readers. This original series of leveled books is written to incorporate the Fountas and Pinnell leveled vocabulary, Rebecca Sitton spelling words, and general core curriculum standards for grades K-6 in the United States.
