Shapes

Shapes
By Peter Patilla;Heinemann Library 2000

Summary: Introduces the mathematical concepts of shapes, including an exploration of shapes found in nature and such geometric shapes as triangles, rectangles, circles, and spheres.

My Review: This is an ok book. I really liked the pictures that were included in this book because they were real life objects found in everyday life in photographs. Each page has a little bit of text so it isn't an overload. The bolded words are glossary terms. It is also a question and answer book. Some questions are asked while you read and towards the end you see if your answers were correct.

ABC Math Riddles

ABC Math Riddles
by Jannelle Martin; Peel Productions 2003

Summary: A collection of 26 riddles, one for each letter int he alphabet, that describes mathmatical operations, shapes, and other concepts and ask the reader "What am I?"

 My Review: Ok I must be an idiot. This book was difficult for me because I don't really remeber math terms that well. I think it would be a great book for those children who are studying and learning about this area of mathmatics.  This is a nofiction book, which I am not a big fan off, but it was worth a try. Overall I would rate it as OK. The illistrations were not all that exciting.
