Put It Together (Analyze, Compare, Create, and Compose Shapes)

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 engaging text and colorful images of both new and familiar shapes. Addressing standard K.G.B.5 of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, this volume gives readers a detailed look at making shapes from various components. This book should be paired with "Name the Missing Shape" (9781477719640) from the InfoMax Math Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.
