Sir Cumference and the Fracton Faire

This book series is exceptional! They are really entertaining for kids and very clever in how they teach math topics. Some educational books can be boring for small children, but this series does a great job of integrating the story with the math lesson (whether that be fractions, circumference, etc.). Highly recommend!

I bought this for my daughter and her two children, who are homeschooled. They are beginning to learn about fractions, and this looked like a great contribution to their math library. This is the first book I’ve ordered in this series; I plan to order more.

Sir Cumference, Sir Cumference... where for art thou Sir Cumference? As an avid lover of the entire series of Sir Cumference books, I JUMPED on the bandwagon to grab this newest release and I wasn't disappointed! Sir Cumference and the Fraction Faire have hit my bookshelf and are just waiting to be shared in some upcoming activities that I have planned for teachers! Thank you so much for your continued efforts to bringing enjoyment to math instruction.Using these to help connect real life application to students is not only tolerable but enjoyable now.

Love the story and the way they introduce fractions. Great for young kids or a little older ones!

So cute and engaging. I teach extended math to 4th graders and I like how this covers the basics but isn't so basic about fractions that it leaves the upper elementary kids wanting more. This is no ordinary math story book. It gets kids thinking and trying to solve the riddles. I have added this to my growing collection.

The book is great. Received it today and already read it. Unfortunately it arrived bent and damaged.

My students love this series of books and I start out each chapter reading the one that works with the chapter. The students really enjoy it and I think it gets them a bit more involved!

So great for incorporating literacy with math instruction! This story is so clever, and the book also has great pictures.

My 7-year-old son loves all these books about Sir Cumference!

Did not like it. Does not do much to help kids appreciate fractions etc. more. Also the faire thing is hard for non-european people IMO

Nice idea, but the pictures and stories are a bit childish for the level of maths being taught. That's noy to say it's bad, it's not, the artwork is excellent. But as I found, children who are learning about fractions tend to be offended that they're being given a younger childrens book to read, and that detracted from the maths. Perhaps I used it too late, perhaps it's a good introduction to younger children who aren't yet learning this level of maths at school, just to prepare them.
