Description
Sir Cumference and the Fracton Faire is a clever math adventure that introduces readers to the concept of fractons. When Sir Cumference and Lady Di visit the Fracton Faire, they discover "Fracton numbers" while buying cloth and cheese. This leads to a mystery about disappearing items, and the trio must set a numeric trap to solve it. As they work together, Sir C, Lady Di, and the Earl of Fracton learn an important lesson about the comparative size of fractions. Puns and wordplay abound in this fun story, making it an enjoyable read for early elementary audiences. With its solid pedagogical foundation, this book provides a great introduction to the basics of fractions.
