Marshmallow Snowman Math

After working hard all week on our second 9 weeks math assessment, I decided that my friends were going to need a really fun math to do today, and boy did we find one! We did Marshmallow Snowman Math, We estimated how many marshmallows it would take to fill up our snowman, then we filled up our snowmen with marshmallows and counted them all up! This was such a fun (and yummy!) activity to practice our counting skills!

How did Candy Canes get their shape?

Who Has More?

Today in math, we played a really fun review game. Each student had a partner. Each kindergarten friend rolled a die to see how many Hershey Kisses to put on the frame. The students had to decide who had more kisses on the tens frame. The student with more kisses "won the round" and then added up the two sets of Hershey Kisses together to see how many the partners had all together. 









We loved reviewing our skills with this game and we can't wait to play again soon!
