Guest Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hi All I am looking for a story book that would support shape knowledge. I would like to use something that would be interesting for boys. Someone suggested Postman Pat but I would appreciate any other thoughts that people might have or have used successfully before. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posy Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hi, would My Mum and Dad Make Me Laugh be any good? Primarily about patterns but you could squeeze shapes out of it (stripes are, after all just an arrangement of rectangles!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundia Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 What about Bear in a Square A triangle for adaora Mouse shapes And for 3d shapes your boys (and girls!) will love Captain Invincible and the space shapes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi Thanks for your contribution. One of the boys was looking at Crunching Munching Caterpillar and because of the cutaway bit in the book I thought this would be an excellent choice to do cut out felt shapes to use on a felt board with room for their own cutting of felts. I have tentatively tried it and its working well for identifying what shapes they will need and problem solving for the space available. Simple and yet hopefully effective.
