How are these snowmen different? How are they the same? Let’s play a snowman sorting game! Create a fun winter math center that offers children lots of opportunities to practice sorting, graphing, and making patterns. Children will sort a set of colorful snowmen by various attributes, such as sweater color, hat type, and carrot nose. They will create graphs to reflect their sorts and interpret the results by “reading” their graphs. And, they can create an endless number of fun snowman patterns! All of their finished work can be stored and tracked in their individual file folders. Everything is included in this unit to set up a sustainable math learning center that includes accountability to keep children on task.

I love the snow man sorts and the kids were really engaged as well.The whole unit is so complete it was great. The scarf detail were kind of small for my students but then when we worked on the scarf color graph they did not spend a lot of time coloring

Glad to hear your students had fun with the snowman sorts. Yes, some of the details are more challenging to spot but it is a great way to differentiate instruction. Thank you for posting feedback.

All of the "Sort, Pattern, Graph" units are perfect for center time. You can keep this center going all year long by just changing out the themes. Thanks for posting. Enjoy!

My class is getting so much better with independently classifying, sorting, graphing, and recording data because of these activities. Thanks for providing such appealing materials.

I have over 20 years of experience teaching and developing classroom resources. Over the years, one thing has remained consistent--my students LOVE to look at real-life photos. The images are colorful, motivating, and great for vocabulary development. So, I created a brand of classroom resources, called "Teach Bright," that includes photography in every resource. My students have lots of fun using the colorful photos for hands-on sorting and sentence-building fun. I hope you and your students enjoy them too!
