Transcript of Sir cumference and_the_round_table[1]
Once upon a time in a land far away there was a problem…………
• The king called for all his knights to gather together to discuss what was happening in a neighboring kingdom.
• When the knights sat down at the rectangle shaped table, not everyone could see the king or hear what others were saying. They were too far away.
Sir Cumference to the rescue….
• This knight had a great idea.
• Let’s cut the table in half, put the halves together and make it into a square.
• He went to work on the project right away.
Change the rectangle to a square.
• This was a good idea.• Cut the table in half
and make a square.• The problem with the
square was that some of the knights now had to sit at the 4 sharp corners and were uncomfortable.
He tried other shapes, but none of them were just right.
• Diamond
• Parallelogram
• Octagon
Triangle
His wife, Lady Di gave him an idea.
• Why don’t you make a table that is completely round?
• What a great idea!• This way everyone
can see each other and be heard.
• Everyone will have the same amount of space.
The idea was a success!
• Now the meeting could go on as planned.
• All the other knights thought it was a great new table and they were very happy.
Sir Cumference developed a way to measure the circle.
They named this measurement after him and called it the circumference.
