This new title in the Homework Helpers series will reinforce mathematical foundations and bolster students' confidence in geometry. The concepts are explained in everyday language before the examples are worked. Good habits, such as checking your answers after every problem, are reinforced. There are practice problems throughout the book, and the answers to all of the practice problems are included. The problems are solved clearly and systematically,...

Introduces geometry, and explores properties of various shapes.

The three books in the popular Shapes in Math, Science and Nature series, Squares, Triangles and Circles, provides engaging, well-written, interactive content that helps make geometry and measurement concepts graspable and even enjoyable, while also offering opportunities for lessons on a range of subjects from science, technology and engineering to social studies, art, and architecture. There are also numerous ideas for hands-on-learning activities...

"In Junk drawer geometry, educator Bobby Mercer provides readers with 50 creative geometry project ideas for engaged learning. Each activity includes a materials list and detailed, step-by-step, instructions with illustrations."--

Discovering the obvious and hidden shapes in the world around us is a great way to strengthen concepts of geometry. This motivating volume points out the shapes of common and interesting objects. Readers will be inspired by accessible text and colorful photographs to apply their understanding of shapes' attributes to their own surroundings, reinforcing fundamental mathematic ideas and well as critical elementary-level vocabulary.

Look around you! You can find circles everywhere. They are on the wheels of cars. They are on the coins in our pockets. Easy text and large pictures help early readers discover that circles are fun!

Look around you! You can find ovals everywhere. They are on glasses and help us see. They are on bars of soap and keep our hands clean. Easy text and large pictures help early readers discover that ovals are fun!

"The characteristics of circles as well as how to find the radius, diameter, circumference, and area of a circle are explained and illustrated in this geometry picture book"--

"Review different shapes when Sebastian Pig and his friends go to the museum"--Provided by publisher.

"Shape reveals the geometry underneath some of the most important scientific, political, and philosophical problems we face. Geometry asks: Where are things? Which things are near each other? How can you get from one thing to another thing? Those are important questions. Geometry doesn't just measure the world-it explains it. Shape shows us how"-- The power of geometry can help us think better about practically everything in our daily lives: the...
