Sir Cumference and the First Round Table: A Math Adventure

Cindy Neuschwander

Charlesbridge Publishing, 1997

Great Way Of Sneaking In Math!
My daughter has always had a problem learning Math but reading this book (along with the others in this series) has helped her immensely! The books themselves are a bit young for her but the concepts in them (Pi, Geometry, etc) are explained in a way I think she ...

Mummy Math: An Adventure in Geometry

Cindy Neuschwander

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2005

Lesson Kickoff!

Cindy Neuschwander

Scholastic Press, 1998

Amanda Bean's Amazing Dream: A Mathematical Story
This is one of a genre of books wherein the beauty and elegance of a mathematical concept is revealed to the main character in a dream (others notables inlude MATH CURSE by Jon Scieszka and THE NUMBER DEVIL by Hans Magnus Enzensberger). This book is a marvelous way to ...

Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi: A Math Adventure

Cindy Neuschwander

Charlesbridge Publishing, 1999

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 ...

Sir Cumference and the Great Knight of Angleland: A Math Adventure (Sir Cumference)

Cindy Neuschwander

Charlesbridge Publishing, 2001

A great learning tool
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.

Sir Cumference and the Isle of Immeter (Math Adventures)

Cindy Neuschwander

Charlesbridge Publishing, 2006

Fun and educational
My nine-year-old loved the earlier books in the Sir Cumference series, and was excited to hear that a new one was available. He enjoyed it thoroughly, for both the story and the math content. This series of books ranks near the top of his favorites list.

Sir Cumference and the Sword in the Cone: A Math Adventure

Cindy Neuschwander

Charlesbridge Publishing, 2003

sir cumference series
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!

Whimsical, educational adventure read.
