- My response: I thought that this book would be a nice to read to the students when learning about shapes, so they can make real world connections to what they are learning about.

The book has cultural aspects of a young girl's Latina background. She connects shapes to different foods, games, and activities that her and her family do. The girl uses Spanish words within the text because that is how she refers to them at home ( )

This book shows the different types of shapes and how they are used in our modern life. I like this book because it shows shapes that are related to Hispanic people, and students may enjoy it because of the cultural. I would recommend using this book for an introduction into shapes. ( )

This family-friendly and fun picture book is a great read to introduce basic math concepts and cultural awareness. Pictures of shapes and their properties are shown using beautifully illustrated pictures of foods and drinks from Latin origins, as well as Spanish vocabulary that will be good for kids to know. This picture book can be a fun introduction to properties of polygons and having students recognize these shapes to make real-world connections in class. ( )

This is a bilingual book of shapes that rhymes. Spanish translations are listed on the same page. It teaches some Spanish words by inference of pictures. The setting is Mexican town. ( )
