This book contains two pages of background material about geometric shapes, an activities example page, plus two dozen 8.5 x 11 pages of different geometric shapes. Each shape is incorporated in a larger drawing showing an example of the shape in the real world or its use in a geometric design. There are six activities that may be performed for each page: 1. Coloring the large geometric shape and drawing incorporating it. 2. Drawing the geometric shape, first by using the dots provided in the lower right corner for guidance, and then freehand. 3. Writing out the name of the shape, and learning to pronounce and spell it. 4. Coloring the tessellation example. 5. Marking the rotational and mirror symmetries of the shape on the drawing in the upper right corner. 6. Measuring the dimensions of the shape in the upper right drawing and using them to calculate the perimeter or area.

Talking math with your child is simple and even entertaining with this better approach to shapes! Written by a celebrated math educator, this innovative inquiry encourages critical thinking and sparks memorable mathematical conversations. Children and their parents answer the same question about each set of four shapes: "Which one doesn't belong?" There's no one right answer--the important thing is to have a reason why. Kids might describe the shapes as squished, smooshed, dented, or even goofy. But when they justify their thinking, they're talking math! Winner of the Mathical Book Prize for books that inspire children to see math all around them. "This is one shape book that will both challenge readers' thinking and encourage them to think outside the box."--Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review

An interactive guide to shapes for 5 to 8 year olds, this bright and bold lift-the-flap activity book helps children understand the properties of 2-D and 3-D shapes. Shapes are an important topic for early learners, and this visually appealing book will make it a lot of fun, too! Geometry Genius features fun geometric characters, like Fox and Lion, and lift-the-flap activities that help kids relate shapes to everyday life. Characters pose key questions, such as "What's special about a sphere?," "What is an equilateral triangle?," and "How many lines of symmetry does a hexagon have?" Children can then lift the flaps and find the answers. An interactive pop-up will also bring learning to life by encouraging kids to spot different shapes within the scene. Geometry Genius helps kids identify and describe 2-D and 3-D shapes, compare and contrast features of regular and irregular shapes, discuss the size and orientation of shapes, understand nets, identify and count lines of symmetry, and more! It gets kids thinking about shapes in their world and not just on the pages of a math book. Quiz questions and fun activities are found sprinkled throughout the book, encouraging kids to lift the flaps and find out more. Learning shapes is a highly visual topic, and this book tackles the subject in a visually appealing, fully interactive, and playful way.

Tessellations: Mathematics, Art and Recreation aims to present a comprehensive introduction to tessellations (tiling) at a level accessible to non-specialists. Additionally, it covers techniques, tips, and templates to facilitate the creation of mathematical art based on tessellations. Inclusion of special topics like spiral tilings and tessellation metamorphoses allows the reader to explore beautiful and entertaining math and art. The book has a particular focus on ‘Escheresque’ designs, in which the individual tiles are recognizable real-world motifs. These are extremely popular with students and math hobbyists but are typically very challenging to execute. Techniques demonstrated in the book are aimed at making these designs more achievable. Going beyond planar designs, the book contains numerous nets of polyhedra and templates for applying Escheresque designs to them. Activities and worksheets are spread throughout the book, and examples of real-world tessellations are also provided. Key features Introduces the mathematics of tessellations, including symmetry Covers polygonal, aperiodic, and non-Euclidean tilings Contains tutorial content on designing and drawing Escheresque tessellations Highlights numerous examples of tessellations in the real world Activities for individuals or classes Filled with templates to aid in creating Escheresque tessellations Treats special topics like tiling rosettes, fractal tessellations, and decoration of tiles
