Reviews for Sir Cumference and the Isle of Immeter

[larisaawhite · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Part of a series of fun, Medieval adventure stories that introduce mathematical concepts for young readers. This one introduces the concepts of area and perimeter.

[davis22-1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A great story set in medieval times that helps young people come to understand diameter through the adventures of Lady Di of Ameter.

This one is an adventure that teaches about finding the area of circles and other objects as well as the perimeter (but not the circumference; see dragon of pi for that one).

This is a very clever book that creates a story out of math topics and problems. At some points I found it a little confusing, maybe because I do not like math. I thought it was so creative. I would love to use this with my own math class as I think the children would love it. The names alone are worth reading the book for!

Love the way this book discusses area and perimeter. Again, love Lady Per of Immeter! Very clever!
