🍉🧮 Snack time = math time!
Who knew snack time could be the perfect moment for building math skills? With just a plate of everyday snacks, kids can explore important ideas like fair sharing, comparing parts, and thinking about wholes and halves—all in a way that feels natural (and delicious!).
This activity is a great way to model math talk in the moment: ask kids to explain their thinking as they divide snacks, adjust quantities, or serve others.
Try introducing simple challenges like, “Can we split this evenly three ways?” or “What if we double the snack for more people?”
It’s a fun, flexible way to keep math meaningful—even between meals! 🍉✂️
