Sir Cumference and Dragon of Pi

2004



Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi  is an interesting story about how the circumference of a circle was discovered.  The king is turned into a dragon and his son, Radius, with his mother Lady di of Ameter have to figure out the remedy for the cure. 

I shared this story with my students on Friday, March the 14th because it was Pi day (3-14).  They enjoyed the story and some even got the witty banter in the text and related it to geometry, even though they won't learn about circumference until middle school.  This is an excellent source to use and connect literacy with math in the classroom.
