Math Monday - Liquids






Our math activity was measuring!  We had a recipe that was 2 cups yellow water and 2 cups blue water.  We had a 1 cup measuring cup, so we discussed how many times we had to fill it up with each color to get 2 cups.  Then we mixed the recipe to get GREEN water.  Then I brought out the pint container, and we counted to see how many  cups made a pint, and  how many pints made a half gallon.  We also talked about empty, full and half-full.

  1. Very cute and looks like lots of fun! I love "active math" anything where it's not just pencil and paper (though we seem to be doing mostly just that lately!!)

    Thanks for the insiration!
