How I have used this book in the classroom...
My 5th graders loved this book. It's long for a read aloud in a math classroom (you usually don't want to spend half the class reading), but I found it was worth it. The students had to understand circumference and pi. After reading the book, we tried to determine the circumference of an orange using Archimedes' method. Next, they went on the playground and drew giant circles. I had the students make a table that labeled the circumference, diameter, and what the circumference divided by the diameter was for their circles. Eventually, someone noticed that no matter how big or small the circle, c/d was always close to the same. My students 'discovered' pi. Even better, I think they actually remembered it because of this book.
