Gingerbread Man Math

In keeping with the holiday spirit, we brought the Gingerbread Man into our math assignment this week!

First, we all made predictions of how many marshmallows it would take to cover the perimeter of the Gingerbread Man.

Then, we laid out the marshmallows and counted them.

Next, we did the same thing with chocolate chips!

Finally, we got to eat the Gingerbread Men, marshmallows and the chocolate chips!

We had a wonderful afternoon learning about guessing and checking, making predictions and the perimeter of different things.
