"Sir Cumference and the First Round Table" by Cindy Neuschwander

Use the popular television game "Deal or No Deal" to draw learners in to a lesson about chance events and probability. With every briefcase that is open, they will compute the probabilities for each round. There does not seem to be a...

In this circumference worksheet, students solve and complete 5 different figures illustrated on the sheet. First, they cut out each shape found on the bottom. Then, students use the shapes on the left as clues to create the corresponding...

Geometry adventurers study circumference of a circle as they listen to Sir Circumference and the Dragon Pi, by Cindy Neuschwander. In groups, they use string to measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects and then consider...

Students analyze the relationship between radius and diameter.  Students read Sir Cumference and the First Round Table then take measurements of circular items from around the room.  Students compute the radius, diameter and...

Middle schoolers solve a measurement riddle.  For this circumference lesson, students read Sir Cumference and the Dragon Pi by Cindy Neuschwander.  Middle schoolers work in groups to perform measurements in order to solve the riddle. 

In this height worksheet, students measure the height of each other and the angles at which they see the top of a building. Students put this data into a data table and answer short answer questions about it.

Students analyze characteristics of various 2 dimensional shapes and explore their properties and use various vocabulary terms to discuss geometric relationships.

Students study geometric terms related to circles and solve the problem posed in the book.

Young scholars experiment with rearranging shapes to better visualize the Congruence and relationship of geometric shapes.

Listen to the story "Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi" and solve the riddle and to save Sir Cumference from the knights.  Your students will love mixing an activity with story and will practice their measuring skills while completing...
