We entered the Kingdom of Gallon. Each gallon has 4 Queens (quarts). Each Queen has a Prince and a Princess (pints). Each Prince and Princess had two Children (cups). We used this information to make Gallon Man. (Pictures hanging in background.)
We also participated in the Math Olympics with such activities as:Giant Step: Take a giant step and measure it.
Paper Plate Discus Throw: Toss your paper plate and measure the distance it flew.
Grab a Handful: Grab as many cubes as you can. Put them in one side of a balance. Find the weight of these cubes using gram weights.
Sponge Squeeze: Place a sponge in a bowl of water and let it soak up lots of water. Using one hand, squeeze the water from the sponge into a balance pan. Get as much water out that you can with only one squeeze. Measure the mass of this water using the unit of measure that is provided.
High Jump: Mark the highest point you can reach on the wall. Now jump and mark the highest point you can reach. Measure the distance between these two lines.Straw Javelin: Throw a straw as far as you can using an overhand motion. Have a partner watch for and mark the place where your straw first hits the ground. Find the distance between the throwing line and that point.
Everyone did a wonderful job and received a Math Olympics Medal. Way to go, Bumblebees!
