Children will create their own ice cream shop! After they design their shop and choose their flavors, they will work through solving various problems about selling scoops of ice cream. This activity does not require a lot of materials and includes multiple ways to engage learners in practicing math skills.

This (editable) behavior chart breaks a student's day into four parts. I filled it in for the subjects I teach but you can fill it in for any subject and even add sections throughout the day. I circle the student's rating for each behavior. This is easy to keep up with throughout the day and can go home daily or at the end of the week as a way to communicate with parents.

Students will go through a series of word problems to practice addition, subtraction, and counting coins. The activities range from simple to some that are more challenging.

Students can use this page as a guide for planning their designs for making a gingerbread house! This is a great way to bring the engineering design process to a really fun winter activity.
