Description
Looking for fun Winter Math activities? Check out my Snowman Graphing for 2nd and 3rd Grades unit. Your students will have fun creating unique 'dressed' snowmen.
FUN & ENGAGING!
May be used with a single student or an entire class! This has been created for 2nd and 3rd grades, however with a little adult help, younger students enjoy this fun activity and as they are introduced to bar graphing.
If using for an individual student:
- Give them the different snowman pages and have them choose and create at least 5 different snowmen.
- After completing the snowmen, give them the graphing pages to complete
WHOLE CLASSROOM DIRECTIONS INCLUDED IN THE DOWNLOAD
Distribute or place copies of the following snowman pages. On each page will be 1 snowman and several colored articles of clothing.
Students are to cut out each piece along with the snowman and then begin to create unique snowmen by gluing the clothing of their choice on to his/her snowman. (One page of this download provides the snowman template page without color. Use this page if you desire to have students color the article of clothes themselves.)
Snowman Graphing Directions
After all the snowmen have been created, work as a class to create a graph (or graphs) showing the articles of clothing (and their colors) that were used! This can be a very simple graph for younger students or can be multiple graphs displaying much greater detail. This download does provide some 'simple and ready to use' graphs for students if more detailed ones are not assigned or demonstrated. Also included our uncolored articles of clothing which can be colored and used on the
provided graphs.
Ideas:
- Use the first half of this activity (the creation of the snowmen) as a center activity.
- Divide students up into cooperative groups and have them work to create a graph (or multiple graphs) of the snowmen created by group members.
- Create a bulletin board around the activity displaying the snowmen as well as a graph (or graphs created).
