Math Action Thursday: Birthdays! Addition A Freebie : )

I LOVE birthdays!  Every twenty-four hr catamenia is someones birthday, but today happens to last my Dad's birthday!  I persuasion for this math activity Th I would throw out roughly ideas to create amongst birthdays (especially since in that place are a 1 thou one thousand ways to link them amongst math).

When it's someone's birthday it's an chance to operate calendar skills.

• What calendar month is it?  What numbered calendar month is it?  How many days are inwards that month.  Discuss days of the week.  Is today the sec Midweek of the month?

Then in that place is an chance to beak virtually the years.  

• If Sally is turning 8 this twelvemonth in addition to the twelvemonth is 2013, how tin nosotros figure out what twelvemonth she was born?  You could larn into timelines or uncomplicated subtraction.

Parties, along amongst presents and/or cake in addition to H2O ice cream tin fifty-fifty become into math!

• If y'all stimulate got a party, how many guests tin y'all invite?  Is in that place solely then much infinite that volition confine your guests to 8?  How much volition it toll to brand goodie bags for each guest.  How volition the tables in addition to chairs last arranged (perimeter)?  What fourth dimension volition the political party outset in addition to end?  How much fourth dimension volition it stimulate got to laid upwards for the party?  How much fourth dimension volition it stimulate got to build clean up?
• Presents... How much does a acquaint cost?  How much wrapping newspaper would y'all postulate to twine it (linear measurements)?  Will y'all brand a carte du jour or purchase one?
• Cake... Do y'all brand a cake from scratch, operate a cake mix, or but purchase a cake already prepared from the store?  There's lot of math amongst baking!  How much tin y'all salve if y'all arrive yourself?  How much cake create y'all postulate to brand or buy?  You could brand cupcakes in addition to each nipper tin decorate them... Do they plow out all the same?
• Ice cream...  It's cold!  If the H2O ice cream was left out of the freezer, what would happen?  What temperature does it postulate to remain inwards to remain frozen?  How much H2O ice cream is 1 serving?  How many servings does 1 container of H2O ice cream have?  Count scoops of H2O ice cream...

The listing tin become on (candles, cylindrical hats), but y'all larn the idea...  There is math everywhere in addition to used inwards many occasions.

As a freebie, I've set this fun H2O ice cream scoop page equally a freebie on my TpT in addition to TN stores!  Happy birthday or un-birthday to you!  Please follow the shop of your choice in addition to exit feedback if y'all dear it.
