Snowy Day Math

Want to have a really fun, really loud, really engaging math lesson?  
Well, just call for an indoor snowfall fight!

We balled up pieces of paper with numerals 1-20 written on them.  
Then we line up in 2 rows and throw them at each other!

Once you collect a snowball, you open and ready your numeral to the class! 


Later in the week we built snowmen!

We worked with partners to build the perfect snowman.

First you roll the dice, count the dots, and look to see which part you should draw.

You have to keep rolling until each part is drawn.  
For my preschoolers I find that it is nice to provide a very faint guide on their paper to help them organize their work (small, medium, and large circles), as spatial awareness is yet to completely develop for them.  
They draw the detail free-handed- of course!
