Geometry snow day!

Because we don't have school today, I browsed through past projects and thought this one to be appropriate. 

The last lesson for geometry was surface area and volume. The kids wanted a party and we still needed to test...the result were geometry inspired edible snowmen. The kids had to find the volume and surface area of each item. 10% of the test was making the snowman. 

We decided after this first draft we really only needed the sixlets for buttons, the marshmallow head, the zebra cake body, the Reese cup head, straw arms, and dots for the mittens and an oatmeal cookie for the base. Needless to say the kids enjoyed their test.
