While piloting his spaceship through the skies, Captain Invincible encounters three-dimensional shapes, including cubes, cylinders, and pyramids.

Diamonds, cubes, rings, and cylinders—shapes are all around us. How many shapes can you find pictured in this book?

Our first encounters with math usually come through shapes. Geometry skills are learned from an early age, and readers build upon those first geometry lessons with topics like describing objects using the names of shapes, identifying both two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes, and composing shapes. Readers are able to explore these essential concepts independently through accessible text and colorful images of both new and familiar shapes. Common two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes are introduced in this volume, which adheres to standard K.G.A.3 of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. This book should be paired with "Is It Flat or Is It Solid?" (9781477720004) from the InfoMax Math Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.

This entertaining introduction to shapes and geometry has over 125 flaps to lift. It's jam-packed with information about flat and solid shapes, angles, patterns and more, along with fun puzzles and challenges to practise key ideas. Lively illustrations make abstract ideas and concepts easy to grasp. Part of Usborne's successful Lift-the-flap Maths series, which also includes: Lift-the-flap Times Tables, Lift-the-flap Addition and Subtraction, Lift-the-flap Multiplying and Dividing, Lift-the-flap Fractions and Decimals and Lift-the-flap Measuring Things. Written in consultation with a primary maths expert and ideal for ages 5-7, this supports school learning (UK Key Stage 1).

In this introduction to polygons, a triangle convinces a shapeshifter to make him a quadrilateral and later a pentagon, but discovers that where angles and sides are concerned, more isn't always better.

Whenever you are -- inside or outside -- there are shapes to discover. And with Tana Hoban's help you will begin to see them. Look around. How many circles, squares, stars, triangles, hearts, and rectangles can you see? They are everywhere!

Cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres. Sounds sophisticated? Only until you look at Tana Hoban's incomparable photographs and realize that those shapes are the stuff of everyday life. They are all around us all the time. In our houses, on our streets, in our hands. In yet another breathtaking book, Tana Hoban wakes us up to our world and makes us see it.
