We are enjoying this fun book as a way to illustrate geometry. Similarly, the other books in the series are just as good. Simple presentation of math concepts in a fairy tale format.
This book is well written, easy to follow and really helps students understand math in a fun way. Highly recommended.
Some years ago, we stumbled upon these books at the library. I love the rich colors and oil painting technique too (I may be wrong about the oil painting but that's the feel of it). For example, one child always keeps diameter and radius straight because of the book characters (Radius is the little guy).
We check out lots of books but this one the children remembered. The books also have an object or character (jester, seagull, rat, cat, etc). They were an instant hit - every single one in the Sir Cumference series.
I highly recommend this series as enjoyable literature that will help your children remember their geometry. In fact, we hadn't checked these out for a couple of years when one son started a new geometry section in math and asked me to get these again so he could review. My preschooler thinks of these as fun stories and enjoys the illustrations while the older crew is making the connections to mathematical concepts they are learning.
that appears on most pages which is an extra bit of fun to look for. I decided these belong in our home library and was especially pleased that Amazon was running its buy 3 get 1 free promotion just then.
I love these stories and so did my students. This book came in good condition.
I purchased the whole set for homeschooling purposes and it really drives home the concepts in a fun way with the kids not realizing they are learning geometry. This is as fun as Cyberchase in a book format. Highly recommend these.
