The bell rings to end another day at school but for Jeremiah it is only the
beginning of an outrageous shape adventure. Shape Up with Jeremiah
is a story that takes the young reader on an exploration of 3-D shapes
by introducing them through the tantalizing world of narrative fiction.
Children of all ages will make connections with important math concepts, as they join
Jeremiah on an exploration of geometric solids in the real world. It is an educational
adventure that turns an ordinary day into an extraordinary one and leaves the reader
wondering about the importance of numbers in the world.
The inspiration for this story came from enthusiastic young learners who moved the
author to find creative ways to introduce concepts in math. The author, Lisa Marie
Sturgeon, is an elementary educator with a special interest in the area of literacy. She
values the power of literature to motivate a love of learning in children and shares
this story, to foster the imagination, of young readers as they discover the engaging
world of geometric solids.
