The popular Masloppy Family is back, and this time it is to do spring yard work. Winter is over and Uncle Lloyd is ready for spring with his new, shiny, red lawnmower. He and Nicholas have a grand time making shapes all over the lawn, with many paths and turns. Polygons start appearing everywhere, setting the stage for some fabulous mathematics for young children. Uncle Lloyd€s Lawnmower is accompanied by a grade 1 geometry unit, Shaping up the Yard: Paths, Turns, and Polygons, which is part of the Contexts for Learning Mathematics series used by many elementary schools around the world.
