Monster Math!

Last Friday we did a really fun math activity.  I got this from Deanna Jump's back to school unit.  We started by reading two monster books, Go Away Big Green Monster and Leonardo the Terrible Monster.  Then we made a glyph (this comes from the term heiroglyphics where pictures are used to tell a story or give information).  The kids chose a monster shape of their favorite color, added spots for their age (5 spots for 5 years old, 6 spots for 6 years old), and gave the monster a mouth based on which book they liked best.  I think they turned out super cute!
