Features: Children may have read the fairy tale "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." The stories in this book are adapted from its plot, with the main purpose of helping children recognize shapes. Before entering school, children have already learned some geometric shapes through playing games (such as building with blocks). Through early observation of children, we found that they have begun to notice some features of shapes and have further understanding of shapes—such as round objects can roll, things with four sides can have different shapes, and round and pointed objects can be combined to form another shape, etc. Children have also learned some names of shapes: circle, square, rectangle, triangle, etc. The activities in this book can strengthen children's thinking about shapes, encourage them to express their understanding of shapes, and help them associate shapes with the correct mathematical vocabulary. Parents are encouraged to read this book with their children and do the activities at the back. While using this book, pay attention to nurturing your child's interest and learn mathematics happily together!
