Grab your jumbo popcorn—you're invited to the premiere of a 3-D movie, all about those three dimensions!
Trusted math picture book duo David A. Adler and Ed Miller tackle the differences between two- and three-dimensional objects in their signature bright and kid-friendly way. Explaining length, width, and height-- and all the different ways we represent those figures-- Adler shows how changing the dimensions of an object affects its size. . . . with some help from a cast of funny, friendly movie monsters.
Explaining key vocabulary in simple text and offering numerous concrete examples and sample math problems with included solutions, Perimeter, Area, and Volume is a perfect introduction to two- and three-dimensional geometry. The star-studded cast of monsters will help you calculate the perimeter of the set, the area of the movie screen, and the volume of your box of popcorn.
Learning about dimensions has never been so entertaining!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The team behind numerous math-oriented books, including Mystery Math: A First Book of Algebra and Fun with Roman Numerals, turns to length, width, and depth using a cast of digitally rendered monsters that are starring in a 3-D movie, Monsters in the Neighborhood. Word problems prompt readers to find the dimensions of various objects, including the perimeter of two fences, the area of a rectangular movie screen, and the volume of a jumbo and large box of popcorn: "We call the amount a box holds, or the space anything with three dimensions takes up, its volume." The movie-making elements feel unnecessary the energetic monsters could easily carry the book on their own but the math lessons are nonetheless delivered with clarity and enthusiasm. Ages 7 10.
