Has the Weather Put a Damper on Recess? Measure Instead…

One day the students had been inside for days, and not been allowed to play outside because it was so cold.  Wanting the students to enjoy the slight  snowfall we had just had, I called the office to let them know we were going outside to do some measurements.  This was my way of giving the kids a little outdoor time!  We measured the depth of the snow with rulers in both inches and centimeters.

We even calculated the temperature to see how cold it was…

Why can’t you take a little time out for fun and math with the weather?
