Hanukkah Math




One of the main ways thematic can be incorporated in the classroom is through math activities. During Hanukkah all our math centers where focused on the traditional games and cuisine of the holiday. Menorah and latke counting cards were used to estimate, counting and add. Deirdel games where lead by the class "experts" who quickly understood some of the frustrations of teaching. "You just PLAY!" was reiterated many times by our five and six year olds.
