Can You See a Circle?: Explore Shapes (Nature Numbers) - Paperback

by Ruth Musgrave (Author)

K-2 math concepts include learning about shapes. Shapes are all around us, from a circle in a sunflower to a sphere in the sun to a hexagon in a bee's honeycomb.

This book is an introduction to basic shapes, such as triangles and squares, and to 3-D shapes, such as cubes and cones, all shown through beautiful photographs of North American forests, fields, and lakes. Math panels encourage kids to combine simple shapes to make complex ones and to practice their early geometry skills.
