*        Potato Math*

 

We had a super time doing Potato Math.  We divided into 4

groups with a parent in each group.  We each had a Potato Math

book to record our results from our different experiments

with our potato.

Some of the fun things that we did were:

                         *draw around the shape of our potato

                         *count the eyes

                         *measure the circumference

                         *weigh the potato on a scale

                         *weigh with marbles on a balance scale

                         *measure with unifix cubes

                         *draw a potato person

                         *record our favorite way of eating potatoes

                         *graph the classes favorite kind of potato and

                         *make a potato man with bouncing legs and arms. 

   

      We did a potato clock and it ran for many days.  We finished

off our Potato Math by reading potato books, playing Hot Potato,

and then we went into the gym and did a Potato Roll to see whose

would go further.
