Sir Cumference and the First Round Table
This joke has actually turned into a EXTREMELY useful book I use to teach 5th graders their geometry formulas. There is a whole series of them now and are by far some of my favorite books to use in teaching! He is married to Lady Di of Ameter and his son is Radius.
There was a book my Geometry teacher read to us once in class that told the story of Sir Cumfrence and his wife Lady Di of Ameter and their young son Radius. Sir Cumference is tasked by King Arthur to find a way that all of his knights can sit at a table as equals and thus the round table was born.
EDIT: I found it here
Classic, there is a series of books based on this one:
Sir Circumference and the First Round Table
Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi
Sir Cumference and the Great Knight of Angleland
Sir Cumference and the Sword in the Cone
There is even more, but you get the point :) I found out about these books when I tried that joke on my wife and kids a while back. They said I stole it from a book. I said no way. Then she pulled these from our enormous bookshelves. They had been patiently waiting for me to try that one. Just so they could show me the books, saving them for a few years, knowing some day I could not resist telling that joke...
For those of you that might not know about it...

There is a whole series of these books!
She's also written a few books to get kids intersted in math.
There is a whole series of math-related "adventure novels" (not sure exactly what they are about) involving a hero named Sir Cumference.

I remember this joke from 4th grade when my teacher read the class this book.
Sir Cumference and the First Round Table

Yes. There is an organized attack on America happening right now. It MUST be stopped.
I have had arguments in op-ed pieces with these folks, and man...are they fucking stupid.
I have a large math background, and can argue with these fakers. There used to be a guy called Dembski that got a graduate degree in math and then used a bizarre area of game theory to argue for creationism. He lost. Even his professors have denounced his work as "meaningless" and "dishonest". He'll usually simply put up some equations that appear "mathy" and nobody argues with him. But I'll give him a run for his money with my own equations.
Long ago, a famous mathematician (Euler) cited an equation as proof for God's existence. His work was pure bullshit. Even a gifted mathematician fucks up when trying to prove god.
Have a good one, man.
However, I cannot recommend math highly enough. There's some real wisdom there. Did you know that some numbers have biographies? If you're interested (and most people aren't), you could start (and I already know you're probably not interested), here's some books that make math sexy and fun:
By Danica McKellar
Math Doesn't Suck: How to Survive Middle School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail
Kiss My Math: Showing Pre-Algebra Who's Boss
Girls Get Curves: Geometry Takes Shape
Hot X: Algebra Exposed!
Good luck.

A good read
That's what I'd do with a grade 7/8 class. But... typical 2nd graders don't relate fractions with division but as separate objects... that's if they've been introduced to them at all, which typically they havn't.
Oh... in the future there is a book called... sir cumference and the dragon of pi, or sir cumference and the first round table
You could read it to them.
The King's Chessboard - Exponents
Math Curse - Word Problems.
Grandfather Tang - Tangrams.
The Grapes of Math - Number sense and multiplication. This author has lots of others as well.
The M&M Math Book - Counting, shapes, early number sense.
How much is a million? - Complex numbers. I think there's a sequel out too.
Sir Cumference and the First Round Table - Geometry. There is an entire Sir Cumference series.
So many more, but those are off the top of my head. Follow the Amazon links and click through related books. You'll find a ton.
There's actually a series of books about Sir Cumference http://www.amazon.com/Cumference-First-Round-Table-Adventure/dp/1570911525/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420960594&sr=8-1&keywords=sir+cumference+series
I object. This meme is stealing good dad jokes from king author.
