Wish I had this book years ago!
I was given this book by my friend who home-schools her kids.She absolutely swears by it, so I thought I'd give it a try with my kids.It is sooo helpful!I used to struggle to find ways to do math with my oldest, who's 9 now, that both of us would enjoy, but this book is full of great activities and games.I wish I'd had this five years ago!

Book Description
When King Arthur and his knights get together, the table they have is so long that everyone has to shout to be heard. A rectangular table is too long and a triangular table is too pointy, but somehow they must sit down and discuss the shape of the future. Join a knight called Sir Cumference, his wife, Lady Di of Ameter, and their son Radius as they use different strategies to solve this quandary.

Fanciful illustrations add to the merriment of learning math and will inspire young mathematicians. ... Read more

Clever book
Very clever - the story, the characters' names - all of it.Perfect for a grade school student!I bought it for my seven year old and it got a big thumbs up from both him and his dad.

Geometry and Camelot
This 32 page children's book tells how Sir Cumference, his wife the Lady Di of Ameter, and their son Radius solve the problems of the king's table.King Arthur and his knights needed to have a council, but there was a problem with the table around which they met.It began as too long; after that was fixed, the table had too few sides, and other tables produced more objections.Geo of Metry makes tables in several shapes before a round table solves all the problems.The illustrations are great, with medieval pageantry and geometric explanations.A few other characters from Camelot appear, such as Sir Lancelot and Sir Gawain.

This is a great book to introduce geometry to the young, making it fun and easy.Shapes and measurements are explained in the quest for the perfect council table for the king and his knights.When the round table is finally found to be the perfect shape, the king names certain measurements after Sir Cumference, Radius, and the Lady Di from Ameter.Very cute!

Led to instant recall of proper geometric terms
My kids (9 and 6) , who are homeschooled, loved this story and it resulted in them being able to instantly recall the proper names of geometric elements and classes (e.g., radius, circumference, obtuse, acute).This is probably due to the clever visual and contextual associations provided.We bought another book in the series right afterward with the same results.Plan to get them all.

Sir Cumference and the First Round Table: A Math Adventure
Very cute story and a nice way of using word play to describe geometric vocabulary.Great for an introduction to the concept and as a review for older children.

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 needed.

I would recommend these to anyone who has a child with problems in math concepts. ... Read more

Good Book for a class and resource
This is a required text for a class. It will be used for the class and in the future when in the classroom teaching.

I priced this book and several others here at Amazon and on half.com. By the time you take shipping into account Amazon was the better deal. Half.com also unless you request (and not possible with all books) it come via media mail. Sometimes 21 days later you get the book.

excellent
Wonderful tool for children. My daughter has never been a big fan of math but this book makes learning simple and fun.

I needed help in the classroom
I am a third grade teacher and I have two children in college. I can tell you that I have found the Math Dictionary by Theresa R. Fitzgerald invaluable. At home I can use it as a quick and accurate referance guide. Often family members and neighbors will call me on the telephone and ask me a math definition or for an example on how to complete a math problem. With this book I can instantly respond accurately to their amazement.In the classroom I use it constantly so that I am not going through five different manuals and books looking for information I need to find quickly. I have had numerous parents at Partent-Teacher conferences tell me how much they love the reader friendly book. If you work with math in any compasity, you MUST have this book. It not only is a time saver, it will make you look good because you will 'know the answers' so quickly. There are just too many times the library is closed, or the internet isn't working. With Math Dicitonary for Kids you are always prepared to help any child or adult with a math question! ... Read more
