A Triangle for Adaora is a great story about the adventures Adaora goes on in search of a triangle. The cousins are in search of a triangle for Adaora, but do not realize how difficult it will be. Along the way they encounter many more shapes, but not the shape they need. As they start to feel too exhausted to continue they not only find the perfect triangle, but find a special surprise to go with it. I believe the photos in this story made the book extra special. It was real life photos on every page that gave the story more of an insight of what Adaora’s adventures were like. This is a different kind of book that teaches about the different kinds of shapes. I think it would be great to use in a classroom for a math lesson. ( )

This book shows students about different shapes that are in everyday life. Also shows how there are shapes in things like the clothing, plants, food, etc that we see everyday. The shapes that are recognized in the book are star, square, circles, ovals, heart, diamond, semicircle, rings, crescent, and triangle. This is a good book to show students when learning about how to distinguish their shapes. ( )

"A Triangle For Adaora," is an interesting math-related children's book. Adaora's cousin promises to find her a triangle. As they travel through their African village, they identify many different shapes. I found this book interesting because it shows children that shapes can be found all around the world, in items which may be common to a certain culture that we may not be familiar with. In addition, I was impressed that the author choose to explain to her readers a description of each item and its use in which the shapes were found. The shapes that were discussed in the book went beyond ordinary shapes. For instance, when we think of shapes, we think of squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, etc. But, in this book the author discusses an oval, a heart, a diamond, a semicircle and a crescent. Not only did this book meet all the criteria listed for evaluating math-related children's books, but it's also a book one could use with integrated criteria such as, language arts/ reading, social studies, and even the subject of diversity.

Adaora longs to see a triangle in her village, after her cousin introduced her to the word “triangle”, and Adaora fell in love with the word. The journey for these two African cousins begin, on a search for a triangle. They look high and low for a triangle of any kind. On their journey, they come across squares, circles, diamonds, but not a triangle in sight. As the two spot different shapes in their village, the reader is given information about the African culture through these shapes they see in various places. Once Adaora spots a triangle, she is happy and the two head home. Adaora is fond of shapes and refused to eat her udala, (a star fruit which started the search for a triangle from the very beginning) because she was afraid to ruin its’ pretty shape. ( )
