Candy Corn Math

This week to work on building equations we did some "Candy Corn Math." Each student received a bag of candy corn. They had to think of as many ways as possible to build that number. It was interesting to watch them build and test their equations with the candy corn. As students manipulated the candy they found ways to make their number with two addends, three addends, and even four! At the end of the lesson, the kids had a sweet treat!

The stories from the "Boo" bag spiders were WONDERFUL! Thank you for your support with this at-home writing project. Wow! The children shared their stories today.
