My kids (almost 7 yo ds & 4.5 yo dd) absolutely love this series with Sir Cumference. (I like it too) We have read the series twice in less than the past 24 hrs!! ds rated the series as a whole 9 stars out of 5 which says alot as he usually gives everything 3.

I teach reading, not math. I'm in favor of incorporating literacy into math and math into reading, but I'm not sure how well this book accomplishes either. Mathematical concepts like place value and how place values are added together to become a larger number are unclear. Pros: good opportunities to read numbers, exposure to math terms (though out of context when used as character names), comical illustrations. Biggest com: I was really bothered by how illogical the book was in its consideratio...more

A silly traditional tale with a twist. Sir Cumference and Lady Di are planning a birthday party for King Arthur. We go through the traditional story with a mathematical twist. I didn't like this book personally, the text was long and involved and contained many, many math references. I imagine that math teachers in the older grades would love this book! :)

This book is absolutely boring. A teacher read this in a class I interned in and the kids were all bored by it just as I was. It was painful and horrible. She seemed to get they were bored by it but had to go with it. These were 10 year olds. Some of the stuff in there was way above their level, so the book doesn't even know who it's aimed for.
This book is a great visual for place value and showing how helpful it is in counting or grouping large quantities by grouping guests into tents of place, visually demonstrating thousands, hundreds, tens and ones. If your child is interested in place value or struggles to understand it. Great to use during medieval themed lessons
This math concept behind this book is base 10 and place value. However, it makes a big leap in the logic that I think might confuse kids. They are putting people into groups of 10 and 100 (etc) to make the counting more efficient, but then when they move to the tents, the tents hold 9, 90, 900, etc.
This book is a really great way to introduce a lot of math terminology. Also, as you read through this book it begins to introduce addition, multiplication, grouping, etc. Also, this book has an interesting, exciting story line which is a plus!
Love how this math adventures is told. You accidentally learn about grouping by tens and how to regroup. The pun-ny words are great. Pictures are good, too. May have to read some more of these.
This is a fun book to read to the class when learning about sorting, grouping,rows,and tens. It is a book about throwing the king a surprise party but too many guest show up, so they have to group them into areas where the king won't see them.
Another great Sir Cumference book that helps teach math concepts. The book is both a good math tutorial as well as a clever, fun, story.

It's about place value.
It's about place value.
Great book for learning base tens.
place value
This book talks about grouping by tens and place value.
This is a cute story about Sir Cumference, which is how that mathematical concept came about.
