Can math be an adventure? With knights and dragons? With zany characters and fantastic story lines?  Of course, if you use these delightful books from Charlesbridge. Sir Cumference, Lady Di of Ameter, their son Radius and a host of other mathcharacters use their wits and geometry to do deeds of gallantry worthy of any medieval hero.  Math has been the weak spot in our collection so we were delighted when a homeschooling mom of long experience brought these books to our attention. They are written for 8-11 year olds but she says even her younger children enjoy them as bedtime stories.

For the younger children Charlesbridge has developed story books with a math connection featuring the child and animal heroes that children love. The stories delight and amuse while surreptitiously teaching math concepts.

We would be pleased to have your suggestions of books to add to this and other categories.
