Synopsis

Have you ever wondered how to measure your pizza, or how much ice cream is in your ice-cream cone? Basic principles of geometry, including measuring two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes, attributes of various shapes, and formulas for finding area and volume, are explored through informative and engaging text in this newest addition to the How Do series.The How Do series is a great introduction to various STEM topics, each written in a format that encourages audiences to ask questions and guess the answers before exploring the science behind them.

Goodreads review by Graham on August 19, 2021

The first 9/10ths ofHow Do You Measure a Slice of Pizza? is cute and uses pizza and ice cream to demonstrate how to calculate area and volume of two- and three-dimension geometric figures. Unfortunately, the author/publisher decided to include a final 5-8 pages that are not inspired and give dry def......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on August 22, 2022

This book was an August 2022 Hoopla Bonus Borrows recommendation. First of all, I wanted to love this. A book using pizza to demonstrate how to do geometry? FINALLY! Something I could understand. Unfortunately, after reading this I still barely understand geometry. Instead, I'm hungry for pizza. So......more

Goodreads review by Kailey (Luminous Libro) on June 19, 2023

If you want to know how much pizza you can eat, then you can use a geometry formula to help you measure the exact height and width and length of your food! You just need the circumference and the radius, and you can measure exactly how much ice cream you have, including the cone. So get out a ruler......more

Goodreads review by Cindy on June 10, 2023

I liked the cleverness of using food - pizza and ice cream cones - to illustrate measuring geometric concepts. However, the illustrations were way to busy and sometimes confusing. There’s be a random page about measuring how much pizza someone ate next to the mathematical formula for area of a circl......more
