Sir Cumference and All the King's Tens (Charlesbridge Math Adventures)

A good story woven round an educational theme. My grandson loves it. (I shouldn't have to keep adding unnecessary words to reach Amazon's wordcount.)

Fab book for maths lessons

Part of a set of books, some more harder than others to understand. Great pictures. Got a bit boring at times though

Not as great as I'd been lead to believe... my daughter got so involved in the story that she completely missed the math in it

This book was great, but maybe just a tad confusing. I used this in a lesson plan with 3rd graders. The story is sufficiently interesting, and it tells a story of place values up to the thousands place. This would be a good book to introduce a lesson on place values, or to close a lesson on place values. Just don't use it for the instructional part of your set or your kids will be a bit confused. Good book overall and I would use it again!

My 5 year old really enjoys this book and others in the series. It was a great way to introduce him to the concept of place value and expanded number form.

This book is an excellent addition to your math book collection. I found it very useful to teach place value and there are some awesome lesson resources available online as well. The kids still love to read it and a few even noticed the play on words with the character and town names.

Pretty funny book. Bought this book for my daughter when she was 6. Two years later, she still enjoys reading it. She liked how it talks about place values and she can apply it to when she is at school or when she has to count quickly. I would recommend to others.
