Each Friday, Ms. Merkle has her students share objects as part of a mathematical show-and-tell. Zachary has a tendency to forget and must use his ingenuity to meet the assignment's requirements. One week, he uses a piece of paper to create a Moebius Strip, which serves as something to measure. The following Friday, he uses a scrap of paper to make an expanding frame for his lesson on perimeters. For his third assignment, he uses a flashlight to show the area of a rectangle. The text has realistic dialogue, and Zachary's ability to explain his projects to this classmates ensures that readers also have a very good chance of understanding the lessons. The plot also includes a rivalry between Zachary and another boy to give the most interesting presentation each week. This rivalry is well developed, and readers will recognize the classroom dynamics in action as the story builds. The resolution is believable and positive. Hohn's illustrations bring the story to life with plenty of detail. Sharp-eyed readers will notice that the blackboard lists the Friday assignments, further reinforcing the terms and concepts. At the end of the book, each of Zachary's three transformations is explained in well-detailed steps so children can try them on their own. Youngsters will find Zachary's quick thinking and solid explanation both entertaining and educational.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Zachary Zormer: Shape Transformer book cover\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/zachary-zormer-shape-transformer-cvr.jpg?15825739651954877245\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/zachary-zormer-shape-transformer-hires.zip?15825739651954877245\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-57091-876-6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ISBN: 978-1-60734-123-9 PDF\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 7-10\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e8 \u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\/\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e x 9 \u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\/\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","published_at":"2016-03-28T16:06:00-04:00","created_at":"2016-03-28T14:30:53-04:00","vendor":"Charlesbridge","type":"Children's Book","tags":["Browse by Age_Ages 6-10","Browse by Fiction\/Nonfiction_Fiction","Browse by Format_Early Reader","Browse by Language_English","Browse by Subject_Concept Books","Browse by Subject_Life Lessons \u0026 Skills","Browse by Subject_Math \u0026 Counting"],"price":398,"price_min":398,"price_max":398,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":795,"compare_at_price_min":795,"compare_at_price_max":795,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":18356422343,"title":"Paperback","option1":"Paperback","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"18766","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Zachary Zormer: Shape Transformer - Paperback","public_title":"Paperback","options":["Paperback"],"price":398,"weight":162,"compare_at_price":795,"inventory_quantity":2,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"978-1-57091-876-6","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/zachary-zormer-shape-transformer-cover.jpg?v=1586807630"],"featured_image":"\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/zachary-zormer-shape-transformer-cover.jpg?v=1586807630","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Zachary Zormer book cover","id":5805133693007,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.893,"height":672,"width":600,"src":"\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/zachary-zormer-shape-transformer-cover.jpg?v=1586807630"},"aspect_ratio":0.893,"height":672,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/zachary-zormer-shape-transformer-cover.jpg?v=1586807630","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/pages\/joanne-anderson-reisberg\" title=\"Joanne Anderson Reisberg\"\u003eJoanne Anderson Reisberg\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/pages\/david-hohn\" title=\"David Hohn\"\u003eDavid Hohn\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe pocket possibilities are endless\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFriday is Zachary Zormer's favorite day of the week.
