Flat Shapes, Solid Shapes: Identify and Describe Shapes

by Lorraine Harrison

Our first encounters with math usually 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. Common two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes are introduced in this volume, which adheres to standard K.G.A.3 of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. This book should be paired with "Is It Flat or Is It Solid?" (9781477724) from the InfoMax Math Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.
