Can You Buy Me Scoot?

We have been trying to stay on track with our curriculum during this busy holiday season and all the extra activities involved. We have been having fun learning math while doing a "Can You Buy Me?" scoot activity. I tagged old mini-Beanie Babies and then had coin purses with different amounts of change in them. They first had to count the coins and write that amount on their sheet and then see if they had enough to buy the stuffed animal. If they did they circled yes, if not they circled no. Once each student was done, they scooted on to the next desk and started again. They had so much fun counting and working that they wondered when they were going to start math. In social studies we are continuing to travel with our Holidays Around the World and in science we are finishing weather and Earth changes.
