"Monsters guide readers through the use of various math skills in a
movie theater, demonstrating how to calculate the perimeter of the set, the
area of the movie screen, and the volume of a popcorn box." Geared toward upper-elementary students, this
book teaches them how to measure perimeter, area, and volume
using monster examples. Students gain a
better understanding of each term, along with synonyms.
The author presents readers with one-, two-, and three-dimensional objects and ways to solve
mathematical problems involving perimeter, circumference, volume, and area. Each monster example includes color
illustrations and calculations for students to try and/or check their own
work. Students who are interested in
mathematics will appreciate this new title, and so will math teachers who need to deliver the concepts
in a new way.
The book includes colorful illustrations, helpful math examples, bold keywords for students to focus on, and an easy-to-read text. Schools that participate in Accelerated Reader will be able to use the existing quiz #149749. “This book is aligned with the Common Core State Standards for third-grade, fourth-grade, and fifth-grade mathematics in measurement and data: (3.MD. 5-8), (4.MD. 2-3), and (5.MD. 3-5).”
