Synopsis

Triangles are terrific! We see this shape around us every day. Our favorite chips may be triangles. Mathematicians use triangular rulers, and triangles feature prominently in many flags. This book, which supports elementary math curricula, will guide readers in seeing this shape in other commonplace objects, through achievable text and images that support more challenging vocabulary. A concluding question asks readers to identify triangles in a final image, providing a closing assessment opportunity.

Reviews

PreS-K-Series describes common shapes, such as squares, triangles, and diamonds that can be found in the world for beginning readers. A full page picture of the shape corresponds with one sentence pages. Finding everyday objects that are the topic shape, sometimes outlined and captioned, readers learn to look for the shape everywhere. At the beginning of every title the book starts with "Let's look for circles," and proceeds to show a page with multiple shapes and with the title shape highlighted. Each title ends with a question, such as: "Do you see diamonds?" and provides everyday examples of the shape. While older readers will find the text easy, the series clearly establishes each shape and connects it to daily life. Paired with clear color photographs, the simple text and sentences are good for beginning learners and readers.VERDICT: A simple, short read for beginners learning about shapes.α(c) Copyright 2011.
