A Recipe for Fun: Fifth Grade Math Gets Hands-On
Learning took on a delicious aroma in fifth-grade math class as students participated in a fun, seasonal, and hands-on activity. Putting their knowledge of measurement and fractions to a practical test, the students worked together to combine ingredients to create their very own pumpkin spice scented play-doh. The lesson was a perfect blend of science, math, and sensory exploration, requiring students to follow instructions, measure accurately, and collaborate to achieve the final product. It was a memorable way to demonstrate that math skills are an essential ingredient in everyday activities.
