Shapes can be formed from different objects such as food as seen throughout the book. Students can follow along with the book and create shapes using the same foods. Not only would students be listening to the story but will also be hands on. ( ) WOW! This book blows my mind. I only wish it included more wonderful ideas inside! Who knew you can learn math with slices of cheese, stick pretzels, and a few more fun objects. PICTURE THIS! Take 3 pretzel sticks and connect them, you have an equilateral triangle! Take a bit of the bottom stick and now you have an isosceles triangle. Make an "L" with two new pretzel sticks. The corner is called a vertex, and makes a right angle. Make the angle smaller; acute. Make the angle bigger; obtuse! Take the cheese. Poke 3 holes. Draw lines connecting the holes. YOU HAVE A TRIANGLE! Do it again and compare the two. This book includes a few fun things to read about while learning shapes. Drawing a shape on a paper by memorization is so old school. Make it fun! This book shows exactly how fun math can be. This kind of math is how I learned math and why I personally excelled at math during school. The book is filled with FUN concepts of math knowledge. It is not boring and children will be engaged and curious to learn more about shapes. With the book, I feel like children will learn faster about shapes compared to their textbooks. I recommend this book to anyone with a child who is learning geometry. I put no specific age limit on the book, because everyone can learn something new. The structure of the book is written amazingly. It starts off with a simple triangle and goes on telling what kind of triangles exist (with their names underline). It then goes on to more shapes with more sides. Yes, it allows children to have that sense of wondering about how else they can make triangles or other shapes. It might even get them to make shapes with sticks or their bodies on the ground during recess/P.E. 5/5 stars. I don't believe this book could be any more organized, fun, or be written in a different way to make it better. It's perfect! "Shape Up!" is a fun and interactive book that teaches the reader about triangles, polygons, angles, and quadrilaterals using every day objects and food like a piece of paper, slices of cheese, slice of bread, and pretzel sticks to demonstrate each term. An example of an exercise from the book is poking 3 holes into a slice of cheese, connect the dots, and cut out a triangle. After making one cheese triangle, it advises to make another one with the holes in different positions. This exercise teaches the reader that triangles may look different, but they are still considered triangles. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I loved that the activities in the book deliver great hands-on experiences for the reader. I would do these activities with my own students one day to introduce these terms and shapes to them. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
