Origami

We are studying Japan for our Monthly country. We have already colored the Flag and read a few books on the country. Next up was trying are hands at Origami. I found this wonderful site Origami fun. There is lots of math involved in origami that I did not think of. Cutting our construction paper into 6"x6" squares, folding in half, and into triangles and squares, plus much more. Here are a bunch of pictures of our fun time.

M&M Math

We play a Quick and sweet math game that helps both the 6 year old and the 3 year old. 

1) make a chart of colors of the candy. Make sure to color around the color names for preschoolers. 

2) sort all candies into their correct lane. 

3) estimate which color has the most and least candies. 

4) count and mark down how many candies are in each lane. 

5)  Figure out which color has the most and least 

6) Add up all colors then divide by how many people will be eating the candies. 

7) count by 2s up to the divided number making sure each color is evenly divided. 

8) eat.
