Guest Post today from Nikowa at theKnowledge House Academy
This week’s Math U See lesson is about memorizing the colors of the unit bars. Well I wanted to get creative so I did a Google search for “numbers, ice cream cone” & came up with this great site .
I immediately printed it out & wrote (with a sharpie) each number (through 10) on them. Then we colored each ice cream scoop to match the corresponding unit bar.
The boys LOVED putting it together & placing it on the wall!
We named each level a different flavor! Hopefully this will “stick” with them.
We have
- #1-Lime Sherbet
- #2-Orange Sherbet
- #3-Strawberry
- #4-Lemon
- #5-Blueberry
- #6-Grape
- #7-Vanilla
- #8-Chocolate
- #9-Mint
- #10-Blue Raspberry
What a yummy way to learn math!

Thanks Nikowa for letting us share your yummy idea 
We also named the colors as flavors. my boys came up with most of the names on their own. Our list is very similar to yours. Thanks to Math-U-See I have never had a child say “I hate Math”.
This is perfect for my oldest! He is only 30 months old, but he is getting to know his numbers now. The trick is to make math fun for him. Looks like we are going to have a “math cone” in his room
What a cute idea! We love Chocol8 so this is a great next step in the concept. Thanks for sharing.
