The Greedy Triangle

I found this book on YouTube. After listening to the book I thought it would be a great book to share with a classroom of k-3 kids. There are two things being covered in this book. A triangle who over times keeps adding one side and one angle to become a new shape. Students would be learning about the different shapes through out the book. Also there is a lesson her on being greedy and always wanting more and something different. Being greedy for the Triangle got him into a mess and he wanted to be back to his original triangle form. I think students would enjoy this book and it could lead into some fun lessons.

Lesson Idea:

Find my shape!
Each student would get a worksheet that had a list of pictured shapes. Students would have to go around the classroom and find objects in the classroom that have the shape on there list. Students will draw the things they find in the classroom that matches the shape they were looking for.
