Geometry is as Easy as Pie By Katie Coppens

Mom's Review:
We finished our geometry unit in our very loose homeschool curriculum this week! Geometry is as Easy as Pie was integral, a fun and useful tool for explaining and helping T learn about 2D and 3D shapes, angles, and lines. Because this book is intended for slightly older children (ages 9-12) who can read and learn to use a compass, we did not cover every section together.
As a teacher and as a mom, here's my takeaway:
Geometry is as Easy as Pie is an excellent tool for introducing geometry — polygons, angles, lines, measurements. Working through it with your child will be fun for both of you. The explanations are easy to understand, using both mathematical and everyday language. Each section has a recipe to make at home and practice your math with. T and I both loved finding lines of symmetry on our cake, and we are making tessellations with samosas tomorrow.
If you are teaching introductory geometry at home, I'd go with Geometry is as Easy as Pie over a textbook any day.
Son's Review:
(Age: 5)
I liked it! It was a little bit hard and a little bit easy. Learning the words [like perpendicular and acute] was easy. My favorite part was eating the cake! I want to make the samosas.
