More Description

Some of our first encounters with math come through 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 accessible text and colorful images of both new and familiar shapes. A school setting provides the backdrop for identifying basic shapes in a familiar context. Written to reflect the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, this volume adheres to standard K.G.A.1. This book should be paired with "Shapes at the Store" (9781477719732) from the InfoMax Math Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.
