SIr Cumference and the Dragon of Pi: A Math Adventure tells the story of Radius, the son of Sir Cumference, who desperately seeks the right amount of medicine to serve his ill father. One day when Radius and Sir Cumference were enjoying a quick meal the king developed a terrible stomach ache and the doctor was no where to be found. After the first potion turned Sir Cumference into a dragon Radius was determined to find the correct medicine - and find it fast! As Radius hurried to find a cure for his father he encountered his cousin, Lady Fingers, needed his assistance in order to finish placing the last part of the crust on her last pie. By observing the number of pieces of dough that were needed to form the circumference of the pie and noting the relationship between the circumference measurement and the pieces that extended from one side of the pie to the other (the diameter measurement) Radius rushes able to save his dad before the knights destroy him forever!
This short story is ideal for supporting math curriculum in 3rd grade. Third grade is the time when Geometry becomes a strong focus - typically in the third and fourth quarters - and this book serves as a powerful and interesting tool for all students - especially those interested in fantasy. This book provides visual representations for students (they can see the pie and measurements of various circular objects) and describes how Radius goes about using measurements and division to solve his problem (divides circumference by diameter). It is a book that can be paired with manipulatives (students could use rulers and various circular items) and has a story line that engages students - if Radius does not figure out the correct amount in time the king will not be able to return to his human appearance! One additional perk this book offers is that it is one book in a series. I encourage teachers to collect the entire series so that as students learn different geometric ideas they can find the appropriate Sir Cumference book that can get children excited about math yet help them learn simultaneously!

Is pi plus pi a rational or irrational number?
It is irrational, just like pi
If the cumference is 8 how do you get the diameter?
Divide the cumference by (pi) to get the diameter.If the cumference is 8, the diameter is 8/pi = 2.5465 (rounded)
Can the cumference of a circle be found?
Yes. you need to know the diameter or radius of the circle and then the formula is:- Circumference = Pi*Diameter or Circumference = 2Pi*Radius. An approximate value for Pi is 3.14159.
What is the cumference if the diameter is 18 inches?
If you mean of a circle, multiply the diameter by pi. Pi is approximately 3.1416. Add: C/D = pi = 3.1416 C = D x pi C = 18in x 3.1416 = 56.5488in = 57in rounded to two significant figures.

Did Sir Isaac Newton use pi?
Albert Einstein made use of the number called I, the ration of the circumference to the diameter of a circle, in many of his calculations, but he did no create or discover it. The concept of Pi was used by the ancients in their development of geometry. One might say that pi was not created at all, but has always been part of the structure of things, and that it awaited discovery by mathematical explorers.
