The book, “The Mitten “ by Jan Brett, is perfect for creating opportunities to use ordinal numbers. Each time the children put a sticker on one mitten they are challenged to put the same sticker on the other mitten in the same place.Cut out and put on table with the thumbs touching.Children trace mittens on a folded piece of construction paper.SymmetryĪfter playing with the idea of symmetry with real objects, cut out mittens (tracer here) and place the same stickers on each mitten. Give them an interesting environment and watch them carry out in-depth explorations. Trust in your students’ natural curiosity to explore winter science and math activities. Teacher tip! Don’t get hooked into using prepackaged winter themes, full of worksheets and identical busy work crafts. Read below for ideas to present symmetry, ordinal numbers, and classification, to review pattern, to make a snowman graph and more. Science vocabulary can be introduced to describe states of water, frosty winter panes, and other winter objects and occurrences. Most of our winter precipitation is liquid, so when it freezes or snows we are all very excited! A winter theme or topic offers many opportunities for children to investigate math and science concepts.Ĭhanges in winter weather provide so many possibilities for children to observe and investigate snow, ice, slush, rain and temperature changes. Snow days are a novelty here on the west coast of Canada.
