Quasi-experimental design is used in this study, the primary research variables are the tests of math learning achievement, word problems of division and the tests of math learning attitude. The sample of this study consists of 60 third graders from two classes in New Taipei County. The experimental groups of 30 students received the teaching of integrating picture story books into mathematics instruction and the control groups of 30 students received the teaching of traditional mathematics instruction. All quantitative data are analyzed with one-way ANCOVA, independent sample t-test, paired t-test and Pearson Correlation, and the mean difference is significant at the .05 level. Results of the research are as follows: 1. Integrating picture story books into mathematics instruction can progress the division learning achievement. 2. Integrating picture story books into mathematics instruction is helpful for the learning on word problems of division and partitive division, and both effects are significant; but the effect on problems of measurement division aren’t. 3. Integrating picture story books into mathematics instruction can effectively improve on math learning attitude , the confidence of math , the usefulness of math, the effective motivation in math and the attitude toward success in math of students, and all effects are significant; but the anxiety of math and the math attitude of important persons aren’t. Qualitative data were collected from course feedback sheets and interviews. Moreover, the researcher generalized the conclusion from the collecting data and provided suggestions. Finally, this study is designed for schoolteacher teaching and future researches. Keywords: picture books; division; math learning achievement; math learning attitude.
