Playing with Shapes

Playing with Shapes provides learning experiences involving visualization, problem solving, and creativity. It presents explorations using Tangrams and geometric shapes. Among other topics, you will find ideas related to counting, geometric shape recognition, sorting and classifying geometric shapes, transformational geometry (rotation, reflection and translation), and composition and decomposition of shapes. Tangrams can be made using a model of the puzzle provided at end of the book. Possible solutions of the tasks are provided. The book is very entertaining and can also help with keeping children's brains active and engaged. Black and white interior.
