| Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi: A Math Adventure by Charlesbridge Publishing Sir Cumference |
| This is a very clever book, wonderfully illustrated; I enjoyed it. My only concern is that it's written for a level that is too young for this math material. Jr. High and High School kids might get a kick; I'll try it on them, but I probably won't buy the whole series. |
| Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi: A Math Adventure by Charlesbridge Publishing Clever with Much Kid Appeal |
| This is great. My nine yr. old niece loved it, and she was able to understand the concept. Clever and good learning approach. Even her little brother was fascinated by the pictures, so I'm sure he will make use of it when he gets older. The artwork is really good, classic in style but with a lot of individuality. I recommend this for a range of ages because kids will grow into the book, and it is a wonderful way to learn. |
| Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi: A Math Adventure by Charlesbridge Publishing A wonderful way to remember pi |
I feel the age range given on the website should not be ages 4-8. This is appropriate for 8 and up. That said, my 5 year old enjoys it as just a fairy tale and I would not attempt any "teaching" to him. He listens as I read it to my older daughters and maybe it will seep in so when he's old enough to begin measuring, he will easily grasp the concepts.
This is a wonderful book - good illustrations and a clever story. The author works the math part in without it being cumbersome. A few times through this book and your child will have a good grasp of pi. At the least, it will be a good memory trigger if he/she needs help in class. |
| Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi: A Math Adventure by Charlesbridge Publishing Great Book |
| This is a great book to teach kids about the number pi. This is a book that makes math fun and gets kids interested in learning math. |
| Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi: A Math Adventure by Charlesbridge Publishing This book is a BLAST! |
| My kids love this book! They range in age from an 11 yr old girl to a 3 yr old boy and they all enjoy it! My son loves the story and the knights and adventure. And, he is learning something in the process. My older kids enjoy the story also but on a different level and it also reinforces what they have already learned! What a great concept! I can't wait for more to come out! We already own all 4! |
