All Ages: Mathematics and Literature Connections

http://illuminations.nctm.org/index_o.aspx?id=83 Sponsored by the National Association of Teachers of Mathematics, this is another site that focuses on the connection between mathematichs and children's literature. There are lessons from pre-K through grade 8, including an excellent unit on algebra foundation skills for pre-K through grade 2.

Algebra for Grades Pre-K-2
sort, classify, and order objects by size, number, and other properties.
recognize, describe, and extend patterns such as sequences of sounds and shapes or simple numeric patterns and translate from one representation to another.
analyze how both repeating and growing patterns are generated.
Data Analysis & Probability for Grades 6-8
find, use, and interpret measures of center and spread, including mean and interquartile range.
use observations about differences between two or more samples to make conjectures about the populations from which the samples were taken.
Geometry for Grades 3-5
identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two- and three-dimensional shapes and develop vocabulary to describe the attributes.
Measurement for Grades 3-5
understand that measurements are approximations and how differences in units affect precision.
explore what happens to measurements of a two-dimensional shape such as its perimeter and area when the shape is changed in some way.
Measurement for Grades 6-8
use common benchmarks to select appropriate methods for estimating measurements.
solve problems involving scale factors, using ratio and proportion.
solve simple problems involving rates and derived measurements for such attributes as velocity and density.
