Kindergarten Math Book · Shapes & Geometry
Shapes, Shapes, Shapes
by Tana Hoban
Tana Hoban's photographs show everyday scenes, from city streets to playgrounds, full of circles, squares, triangles, rectangles and more. There are no words, just shapes to find.
Why it's useful
A wordless photo book that trains kids to see shapes in the real world.
- Shape names. Kids practice naming circles, squares, triangles and more.
- Looking closely. Every photo invites careful observation.
- Talking math. No words means kids do the describing.
Try it in class or at home
- I spy shapes. Take turns finding a shape in each photo.
- Shape walk. Go outside and take photos of shapes, like the book.
- Build it. Use blocks or paper shapes to recreate a picture.
