## Description

desertcart.com: The Greedy Triangle (Scholastic Bookshelf): 9780545042208: Burns, Marilyn, Silveria, Gordon: Books

Review: Used for supplementing 2D shape learning - This is a great story to supplement learning about 2D shapes. Great way to show how shapes change by adding an extra side.
Review: A must-read for shape units - I used this book when teaching a 3rd grade lesson on polygons. Throughout the story, as the Greedy Triangle becomes greedier for change, a new side is added to its figure. As the story progresses, you see the Greedy Triangle in its different forms. I appreciate how the author relates each new figure that is presented to figures that are seen in "real life"; the colorful illustrations support this. Eventually, the Greedy Triangle questions if its new figure is indeed a good fit. My students enjoyed listening to this story and they even asked me to put the book back on our class bookshelf weeks after our geometry unit was over. This book is useful to teach math and reading concepts; it's a great way to introduce and review 2D geometry terms as well as teach story elements (characters, setting, etc.).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be happy with the Shape you are!
*by J***E on December 30, 2019*

This little gem, not only talked about shapes but about being happy with who you are. This little book was fun to read with both of my math classes. They learned their shapes, we had great MATH discussions, and we had wonderful talks about being happy with who you are (not always wanting to be someone else). Thank you for making education fun!
