Join Sir Cumference and the gang for more wordplay, puns, and problem
solving in the clever math adventure that introduces readers to the
concept of fractons.
Sir Cumference and Lady Di discover Fracton numbers while purchasing
cloth and cheese at the Fracton Faire. While two-fourths may seem like
the same as one-half, in truth it denotes two parts of one-half, or two
quarters of the whole. But the real mystery is the fact that items at
the fair keep disappearing, and Sir C, Lady Di, and the Earl of Fracton
must set a numeric trap for the thief, teaching an important lesson
along the way about the comparative size of fractions.
Puns--both literal and visual--abound in this fun adventure story with
beloved characters and a solid pedagogical foundation.
A fun little math adventure that introduces the basics of fractions to
early elementary audiences.
