Kids Who Love Lines was written to educate children to the fun and ease of learning the names of lines. Its content assumes that the vocabulary of early geometry must be mastered before higher geometric concepts can be understood. Children in most of our 50 states must know by second grade the names for directional lines: left-to-right, up-and-down, slanted, and lines equidistant apart like the two rails of a railroad track.
That's where Horizontal Hanna, Vertical Veebee, Diagonal Doovie/ Oblique Ollie, Parallel Peetie and Circular Cybil come in.
There are 33 wacky illustrations of these five outlandish characters. Their zany lives are described in easy to read rhyme. By the time you're finished with these kids, you'll discover that their "teaching" is practical and painless. And you will gain a new awareness and appreciation for the thousands of lines and line segments that fill our world and flood our imaginations.
Kids Who Love Lines is just the beginning of someone's exploration. It could be a child who doesn't know the concept of diagonal/oblique. However, just one look and laugh at the antics of Diagonal Doovie/ Oblique Ollie and the concept is laid bare. No sweat. And here's the hope: That child too will find a way into the see-saw world of slope. |
