Helping children to identify the particular shape as well as the repeating of the shape. By repeating this into a pattern it will help them understand the shape.

Hi Melissa! I love the idea of talking with children about how what happens when 2 shapes become one! Also, discussing HOW many points, sides etc., helps children to understand what that particular shape is composed of. Great ideas and I am so happy you have read the book. Kids love math….we just have to help them by asking guiding questions! And providing a math rich environment…..including books. Thank you for reading! And….commenting

The discussion that followed amazed me. Not only did we discuss the shapes and what makes them each original, but what would may come from two different shapes becoming one; how many side, points, etc. It made learning the shapes that much more fun and easy. I would recommend this book to any teacher.
