Book Description

February 1, 2012 Charlesbridge Math Adventures640L (What's this?)
Xaxon Yellowbearyd was the fiercest Viking warrior of his time. Now a map to his hidden treasure lies in Radius's and Per's hands. Together the cousins must decode the strange numbered grid on the map-and figure out the secret of the Viking's X and Y axes. As bungling bandits pursue them, Radius and Per use coordinate geometry in their quest for "treasure of the greatest measure".

About the Author

"You are the boss of your stories. You can make anything happen." Cindy Neuschwander is a native Californian born in San Diego, but she has lived in many places, including Germany, England, Austria, and Hawaii. She received a BA in international studies from Willamette University and an MA in education from Stanford University. She has been teaching since 1975, both at the high school and elementary levels. As a mathematics education specialist, Cindy sought ways to make math fun, interesting, and comprehensible to her students. In 1992, while living in England, Cindy began working on her first book with this goal in mind. Sir Cumference and the First Round Table took five years to reach publication, but it remains a very popular book for its presentation of math concepts as well as for its amusing and exciting story. It has been followed by further adventures of Sir Cumference and his family, including Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi, Sir Cumference and the Great Knight of Angleland, Sir Cumference and the Sword in the Cone, and Sir Cumference and the Isle of Immeter. Cindy speaks at conferences often about writing, mathematics, and being an author. In her spare time, when she isn't writing or dreaming up new math adventures, Cindy enjoys activities with her family. The entire Neuschwander clan has spent time on five of the earth's seven continents. Only Australia and Antarctica remain to be visited. Cindy lives in California with her husband and two sons. Wayne Geehan, a graduate of the Art Institute of Boston, has been illustrating books, board games, and jigsaw puzzles for over 20 years. When he isn't painting in his Massachusetts studio, he enjoys being with his family, reading, and researching his family's genealogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars My boys love these books! March 30, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Both of my sons have enjoyed the Sir Cumference books. The stories are entertaining and they introduce various topics in math: shapes, angles, geometry, measurement, multiplication, patterning and place value. The Viking's Map follows the adventures of Per and Radius as they try to decode Xaxon Yellowbearyd's map to find the treasure. Chased by bandits, they struggle to understand the grid locations on their map. A fun introduction to graphing, the story makes learning fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another hit January 4, 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
All of the Sir Cumference books are a huge hit with our 6 year old. She trades her baby teeth (when they fall out) to her father for these books, rather than having a tooth fairy come to collect!

My students loved this book. They wanted to go through it again and again looking for math references. Colleagues from other schools have asked to borrow it for their classrooms.
