Allie's Art Class

First math encounters usually involve shapes. Geometry skills are learned from an early age, and readers build upon those first geometry lessons with topics like describing objects using the names of shapes, identifying both two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes, and composing shapes. Readers are able to explore these essential concepts independently through simple text and colorful images of both new and familiar shapes. An art class provides the setting through which readers...

First math encounters usually involve shapes. Geometry skills are learned from an early age, and readers build upon those first geometry lessons with topics like describing objects using the names of shapes, identifying both two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes, and composing shapes. Readers are able to explore these essential concepts independently through simple text and colorful images of both new and familiar shapes. An art class provides the setting through which readers practice analyzing and comparing two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Standard K.G.B.4 of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics is addressed.
