A Tour Of New York City: Level 3 (mathematics Readers)

Travel with a boy and his uncle as they tour New York City to see all of its amazing 3-D shapes! Buildings, statues, and monuments reveal that 3-D shapes are everywhere. With vibrant photos, math charts and diagrams, grade-appropriate text, and informational text features to help navigate the text, students will learn about practical, real-world applications of math skills as they learn 3-D shapes and build their STEM skills. Many things in New York City are 3-D shapes with height, length, and width. Many of the skyscrapers in the city are rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, and cubes. Some of the statues are cylinders and spheres. You can even see pyramids atop big buildings. These 3-D shapes are not only buildings or statues--they are the things you drink out of such as coke cans or things you eat like ice cream cones.
