Zachary Zormer: Shape Transformer

Every Friday in Zachary's math class, students share objects as part of a show-and-tell exercise. For three weeks in a row, Zachary forgets to bring something to show, but is able to use items from his pockets and a little ingenuity to amaze his classmates. This story will introduce readers to the mathematical concepts of area, perimeter, length and width. Each of Zachary's items are explained in detail at the back of the book. Written by Joanne Reisberg, illustrated by Devid Hohn, this could be a resource for math units.
