The Taste Of A Circle: A Story About Shapes (Math All Around)

A boy and his grandparent explore the tastes of different shapes as they make burritos for dinner. While his grandmother makes burritos for dinner, Adrian works on homework for a lesson on shapes. At first, he does not have a fun time with it. Then his grandmother asks him a simple question: What does a circle taste like? Her question leads to a series of delicious discoveries as Adrian tastes all sorts of different shapes. In Math All Around, narrative-driven stories introduce foundational math concepts to young readers in creative ways. Each title combines an interesting story with an important math concept from the Common Core curriculum, while simple language helps build readers' confidence in reading.
