Sir Cumference and All the King's Tens




123456789........

It's a Month of Math!





We’ve already introduced you to the Sir Cumference books so you know how clever we think they are!  Sir Cumference and the All the King’s Tens (A Math Adventure), by Cindy Neuschwander and illustrated by Wayne Geehar, is another delightful book for children and parents to enjoy.

In this book a celebration is planned for a gloomy King Arthur.  Counting the crowd who shows up for the celebration becomes overwhelming!  Through the problem solving activities and illustrations, the use of place value is explained.  We hope you enjoy this book like you did the others!


*Can you think of some other ways to draw the crowd to illustrate place value?
*What are some other times large numbers of people need to be counted?
*What would you do for King Arthur’s celebration?
