The Learning Masquerade

National days are always more exciting when food is involved, especially candy! The National M&Ms Day fun started at school and ended with dessert (and learning, of course) at home. are a great tool for just about any type of math activity - addition, subtraction, patterns and estimation. My little used them for sorting (buy the minis and peanuts variety and you can sort by size too). My 2nd grader used them as ones and pretzel sticks as tens to build and add two digit numbers. What a sweet day!
