Well, "partay" might be kind of a stretch, but math is fun, right?!?
Actually, I think this could be a really fun way to entertain one night. No stress of having people over and you have to worry about making a full-on dinner...have friends over for an Ice Cream "Partay" this summer...ColdStone style.
Display all the fixins in fun glasses and jars out on the patio table. Then, BRING OUT THE ICE CREAM!
Everyone gets to choose their favorite candies, cookie crumbles, fruit and toppings to add into the ice cream. Have your guest add their add-ins right into a large ceramic bowl and mix it up with two large spoons, then dish into waffle cones.
Okay, now for the math. Have your kiddos answer math questions to earn candies and add-ins.
"4 + 6= the number of chocolate chips you can add into your ice cream"
"50% of 12 is the number of gummy bears you can add to your ice cream"
"Count 7 lemonheads and put them into your ice cream...good counting!"
I suppose you could even touch on a little geometry...cone shape of the icecream cone, sphere shape of the malted milk balls, are there any cube-shaped or pyramid-shaped candies?
Cool summer fun! Thanks to my sister, Leslie for the perfect way to spend a SMMART Math summer night!
