Munchie Math

Something special that I like to do in first grade is munchie math. I love these activities because it helps us to learn lots of different skills! We not only study math concepts, but we also learn real world applications for these concepts. The children love to have a treat and they are learning at the same time! Can't beat that!

This week's munchie math activity was making numerals using twizzlers pull and peel. This activity went along with what we had been doing in class for the first week very nicely. While we learned all of our numbers in Kindergarten, we have been on a break so we wanted to make sure that we could still remember how to make them the correct way.

This activity was great for tactile-kinesthetic learners who learn best when they are making something. It was also great practice for our gross motor skills!

We practiced each number and then discussed what came next and made that number. I think the children's favorite part was getting to eat their numbers when they were done!

We will do some type of munchie activity each week. We may be sorting, graphing, counting, cooking... the possibilities are endless! I hope the children enjoy learning in such a tasty way!
