Gingerbread Math

This week we read  many different variations of the story "The Gingerbread Man' this was a great hook to investigate how many ways we could bring math into the story.

First students received a grocery list of candy they could purchase.  They were allotted 20 cents each to purchase different amounts of candy at different price points.  Students then had to use their addition skills to add up their totals!

Afterwords students were pulled into small groups to bake with our expert baker Mrs. Mckenzie in the staffroom.  We learned that baking is all based around scientific and math concepts.  We explored how to measure and count how many ingredients we needed and how time and temperature also involve math!

Students then designed their cookie before they got their icing and candy.  Then came the best part...Decorating!!  We had a blast learning in math and science this week!

Check out some of our pictures:
