Snowman building

Math

• The student practiced counting by stacking and counting the number of snowballs used to build the snowman.
• They learned about size and comparison by arranging the snowballs in different sizes from bottom to top.
• The activity introduced basic geometry as the child learned to create the circles for the snowman's body parts.

Encourage further math learning by incorporating shapes and numbers into the snowman building activity. For instance, having the child count the buttons on the snowman's body or identifying different shapes used in the snowman's features.
