We are also fortunate enough to have a mud kitchen incorporated in our playground. It is equipped with a rain barrel where the children can access any water collected to cook with. During the colder months the students collect snow or ice, it is a big hit and such a wonderful to fulfill sensory needs as well as using the kitchen to incorporate little math lessons throughout the year.
A wonderful Mud Kitchen I might add. Can you think of any additional math lessons in the Mud Kitchen that you have not done before?
Opposites is a concept my class has fun with. We incorporated this and the concept of comparing into a nature walk one afternoon. On this walk they not only collected items for their nature self-portraits but along the way I would stop them with several leaves and they would compare the size and any common or opposite features as well as counting the size with a ruler I brought along. It was such a simple of fun activity.
Thrilled you had a ruler with you! A beautiful walk turned into a math lesson outdoors! Simple!
I love working with the seed packets with the kids and look forward to doing this with the kale seeds we got! My favorite book about leaves is Leaf man by Lois Elhert I enjoy the journey the leaves take! If you have not read it check it out!
Love this book! I will add it to this exercise.
YEA!!!!
My thought with these seeds of inspiration would be to use stacking cubes as a unit of measurement. I can have my students collect and trace leaves 2 different leaves each. Then they can measure each one with cubes. On their paper it could have a space for leaf #1 and leaf #2. Under the leave tracings, I would write “This leaf is ______ cubes long.” On the very bottom we could compare the leaves by saying “Leaf # ____ is longer than leaf #____. We can then compare the lengths to see which ones were longest or shortest. We could also do this with our pumpkin unit. The students can measure the height of their pumpkins and compare their heights.
Fantastic! What fun Fall math activities to play with. Love how you are adapting the material to your classroom. Cubes are a great tool for teaching.
We made a caprese salad this summer from our garden harvest. The students loved it.
Oh my goodness….that is so funny! I love it too. So simple!
