This will aide in the teaching and understanding of the concepts, give a visual association for students, and the books are cute and fun and inexpensive. This book (and series of books) will help personify various math concepts.
Simple presentation of math concepts in a fairy tale format. We are enjoying this fun book as a way to illustrate geometry. Similarly, the other books in the series are just as good.
Highly recommended. This book is well written, easy to follow and really helps students understand math in a fun way.
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. that appears on most pages which is an extra bit of fun to look for. 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. 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). The books also have an object or character (jester, seagull, rat, cat, etc).
Some years ago, we stumbled upon these books at the library. For example, one child always keeps diameter and radius straight because of the book characters (Radius is the little guy). 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.
We check out lots of books but this one the children remembered. 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.
This book came in good condition. I love these stories and so did my students.
