I found it…I actually found some math story books that your kids will LOVE!

And get this, while they love the story books we have for them, they will be learning math concepts (without knowing they are learning).

Isn’t that a great way to “inspire not require”?

I’m always on the lookout for ways to encourage a love of learning with my kids. Math Story Books were one terrific way I found to encourage learning math, especially with my non-math daughters.

Here’s a video “showing” you the math books your kids will love.

Read more about the Math Adventures Series…
Get your own set of these books!

Sir Cumference Math series are a terrific way to teach children elementary math lessons. Bring elementary math and geometry alive as you read about Sir Cumference and his Lady Di of Ameter. Your children will actually remember the math lesson and geometry concepts.

When King Arthur and his knights get together, the table they have is so long that everyone has to shout to be heard. A rectangular table is too long and a triangular table is too pointy, but somehow they must sit down and discuss the shape of the future. Join a knight called Sir Cumference, his wife, Lady Di of Ameter, and their son Radius as they use different strategies to solve this quandary.


Can Sir Cumference and Lady Di of Ameter “measure up” to the challenge of building a better table?


Explore the castle, watch a tournament, and ride along with Sir Cumference as he searches for the shape of the future. Noisy knights, a clever carpenter, and a juggling jester all add to the fun.

Math Concepts:

• Geometry
• Circumference
• Diameter
• Area of a Rectangle
• Parallelogram
• Triangle
• Circle

I’m planning for 2009 and would like your input on what topics I should address on this blog?  it can be topics in homeschooling, parenting, celebrating holidays, raising leaders, or even scrapbooking & business.

Take a look at the category list on the right and please leave a comment telling me what you would like me to address this year.

On Friday, I’ll be giving away a copy of one of the Sir Cumference Math books to one of the people who  post a comment.  I’ll choose a random comment listed below.

Yeah..you read that right so here’s what you can do.
1.  Make homemade cheese pizza.
2.  Discuss all the food groups in a pizza.
3.  Find some pizza coupons and figure out how much money you save on each coupon.

Tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday and you need to get ready for that party. Choose your favorite football snacks and let your kids make them.

Be sure to let them learn about measuring and fractions as you make your snack.

Here are a few Super Bowl Snack recipes:

- Graph the point spread for each Super Bowl (difference between points of winner and loser)

- Determine the average points scored by all winning teams.
