Sir Cumference: And the Great Knight of Angleland: Measuring Angles

Good book, suitable for 6 years plus. Good diagrams for explaining the maths ideas and a nice story to go with the maths ideas

I’m really pleased with this series. I bought 3 of them and the students really enjoy them even though they are in middle school! They think it’s funny and it does explain the principles of maths. Thank you!

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.

Excellent for teaching math

I use these books with my 3rd-grade class, towards the end of the year after they have heard me use several of the math terms. The kids love hearing the stories and giggle when they catch a pun. Although not a 3rd-grade standard, I use this book to introduce students to protractors for measure angles.

This is a great book. It has lots of mathematical elements while also being fun for middle school students. I, as a math teacher, enjoyed reading this book to my students. The math terms that tie the book together are very creative in the way they are presented. If you are reading this book to a class of middle school students, it will take from ten to fifteen minutes to read completely if the class is attentive. The math described in the book can help students to remember those terms later.
