Introducing Geometry has now been made more fun. Cindy Neuschwander has given upper grade teachers an exciting way to introduce a somewhat complex subject through the adventures of Radius, son of Sir Cumference and Lady Di of Ameter. This beautifully written and illustrated book has Radius out on an adventure with only a circular medallion (a protractor which is included with the book) to use to find his way through a maze of angles. Students will love the twists and turns the hero Radius encounters but solves and will be excited to learn how to use their own "circular medallion." I enjoyed this book and will be recommending it to appropriate teachers who I work with as a student teacher supervisor.
I am a special ed. teacher, and my co-teacher and I read the Sir Cumference books aloud to our 8th grade collaborative class. They loved all of them!! "Now I get it" was heard more than once!!! I highly recommend the series!!
I used this book to introduce the concept of angles to my class. They loved every bit of listening to this book and have kept the ideas of "mountains of obtuse" and "cute quaint" town when identifying angles.
***spoiler alert***My kid thinks the Pair of Lells are hilarious to the point of now never forgetting what parallel lines look like - like 2 dragon tails side by side. They're not really funny, but he thinks the idea is very silly and laughs about it every time we re-read it.
This whole book series is absolutely amazing for teaching math to students. All of the books have great stories (this one about a boy who is on a quest to become a knight) which incorporate math vocabulary and concepts all throughout the book. My fifth graders loved when I read this book aloud to them and had a fun time identifying all of the math vocabulary in the text. This book is great to review math concepts or to introduce them and it is a great way to incorporate literacy into mathematics.
This whole series of books is wonderful. The story line for a middle school level is somewhat elementary, but the students still LOVE them. They remember the terms and even bring them up during lessons. I think even at the middle school levels, the kids really like being read to and these books ,as silly as they seem when read at that level, help solidify these key geometry concepts in a fun kind of way. They take about 10-15 minutes to read out loud. Highly recommend!
The Sir Cumference books are great for kids interested in math. My 8yo son, who loves math, devours these, though my 8yo daughter who is not interested in math, finds these uninteresting as well. But they teach concepts in a really great, fun way.
This is a great math book. It teaches kids while also entertaining. I purchased three of the Sir Cumference books for our library and the kids love them. The service was quick and the books were exactly as described.
