Description
Publisher's Description of Math in Nature 4: Shaping Up Summer
As young readers journey into the natural world, they will discover that numbers, patterns, shapes -- and much more! -- can be found in everyday plants and animals.
What if animals and plants knew math, just like us? Would spiders draw pictures in their webs? Would narwhals sort blocks of ice by shape? Would insects know what's above and what's below? In Shaping Up Summer, the final title in the Math in Nature series, nature comes to life to help children grasp concepts of geometry, symmetry, and spatial sense.
This interactive, poetic, and artful picture book series is an enticing way to introduce math to kids -- they will laugh, use their imaginations, and learn through activities inspired by the books.
Category Description for Math In Nature Series
Glorious, vibrant, papercut illustrations fill these pages, making you and your child slow down on this "nature walk" through all the seasons, environments, and continents. Each book highlights a season and a math concept. Pages are pleasantly jam-packed with animals and math to spy, with a few questions providing thought-provoking math discussions. Which animal is smallest? Can you find cones? How do you know when winter ends? A few pages at book's end teach about the nature items highlighted. 8 ½"x 10 ½", 32 pgs. ~ Ruth
