I had higher hopes for this book. I don't know what I was expecting exactly, but this book has no words. It's simply a picture book with photos of different objects that are in different, specific 3D geometric shapes. I used this in a lesson plan with first graders, and they weren't all that impressed. This would probably be good to introduce the concept of geometric shapes with Pre-K or Kindergarten students. Also might work well for special education needs for students any older than that. The photos are clear and interesting, but it just wasn't engaging at all.
This book served as a great review/informal assessment/real-world application for my first grade class after a unit on 3D shapes. My students like to look at it in a center and "quiz" each other on the different types of figures.
Great non-fiction!!
I was preparing to teach a lesson on geo-solids and this book gave excellent examples of different types of geometric solids. It arrived on time.
This book was on a list of recommended books for early childhood teachers to use with children. Our school has found them helpful.
