by David A. Adler
$8.99

Perimeter, Area, and Volume: A Monster Book of Dimensions by David A. Adler introduces young readers to these key math concepts in a fun and accessible way, using friendly monsters to explain measurements. Through clear examples and playful illustrations, the book helps children understand how to calculate perimeter, area, and volume in real-life situations. It encourages practical math skills and builds confidence, showing kids that measuring spaces and shapes can be both useful and fun.


Here are several ways we integrate Perimeter, Area, and Volume into our homeschool math curriculum:


  • Hands-on Learning: Students engage with hands-on activities that mimic scenarios from the book, such as using string to measure the perimeter of objects around the house, or filling a rectangular box with cubes to understand volume. 
  • Creative Writing Prompts: Inspired by the book's imaginative take, students write their own stories incorporating mathematical problems related to perimeter, area, and volume. 
  • Mathematical Art Projects: Students create art projects based on principles of perimeter, area, and volume. For example, they might design their own monster park, calculating the fencing needed (perimeter) and the land area it would cover.
  • Interactive Quizzes: After reading the book, quizzes and interactive games challenge students to apply what they've learned in fun, engaging ways.
