1-2-3 Come Do Some "M & M" Stuff With Me

I'm a firm believer in making things personal for students.  If you relate things to their world, you quickly grab their attention and enthusiasm for the activity follows. 

With that in mind, I wanted to design some sort of "me math," where students could use a variety of math concepts to answer questions about themselves.

When I was researching "me math" to see if anyone else out there was doing something along that line, I found quite a few poster and pennant ideas, so I didn't want to go that route.

To conserve paper, there are 2 pages on each master.  Pick and choose whatever is appropriate for your grade level.

From teeth to travels, I think you'll find the personal math questions interesting and fun.  I was especially excited to find a Scrabble and M&M font to use with the My Name Math pages. 

Choose simple math concepts for kinders, or add a few more difficult pages and send the booklet home to have parents help their child with.   me math, math about me, M&M math, end of the year activities, end of the year math, fun math activities for early elementary, icebreakers for the beginning of the school year, activities to get to know your students, measurement activities, math booklets, me math booklet, Click on the link to view/download the M&M Math & Me booklet.
