A Computer Called Katherine: How Katherine Johnson Helped Put America on the Moon | Suzanne Slade

“She believed women could be anything—scientists, lawyers, or mathematicians.”

This book is really inspiring and a great story to share with students. I like that it shows how women can be more than just teachers, nurses, or other typical “woman” jobs. They can do amazing and important jobs.

This book is about a brilliant and very famous mathematician, Katherine Johnson. From a young age Katherine loved to count and do math, and she was exceedingly smart. She goes on to work for NASA and assist in sending the first person to go to space, the first to orbit the Earth, and Neil Armstrong stepping on the moon.

If you love the science and math you will love A Computer Called Katherine book.It was written by Suzanne Slade and Illustrated by Veronica Jamieson. This B book is the historical story of Katherine who helped send the first manned spaceship to the moon. Katherine was a African American female who was judged by the color of her skin and rejected while working at NASA. This is a historical RA book that should be in every classroom!#ucflae3414su20.

ESOL Strategy- Provide biographies of significant men and women from different countries. Students will Enjoy this book during a science or math lesson.Teachers can introduce the phases of the moon and how the moon looks at each stage. 4y

dbears1 This is a great activity that aligns with the book. https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/teach/activity/simple-rocket-science-continued/ 4y

JoslynB I do like the mixture of science and social studies because of this book's historical value. The UDL principle is a good choice as a means of assessing what students may know to gauge how to proceed with the book. The ESOL strategy is one I have not seen used and great to see because students can benefit from learning about historical figures they may not typically be introduced to. 4y

DrSpalding I agree with Joslyn, this is a book that could be used in both science and social studies! Your resource is fantastic! There have been many picture book biographies about these important women since the Hidden Figures movie came out a few years ago. English learner strategy 28 aligns with providing biographies to students. Make sure you cite the number. 4y

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟5 🌟
This book brings the story of Hidden Figures down for children to read and learn about. Katherine is an important historical figure because she proved that you can be both a woman, and black, and still do impossible things like help launch people into space. The story is well written, easy to understand, and keeps the reader's attention. The illustrations are beautiful and a perfect match.
