(4) K-3 Clearly described hands-on activities with edible materials (pretzel sticks, American cheese, and bread slices) introduce different polygons, including isosceles triangles, rhombuses, and dodecagons. Offering structured exercises rather than open-ended investigations, the text simply guides young mathematicians to learn definitions rather than explore concepts. Clear color illustrations accompany the text.
