Directions: Students double click on the snow to open the Google Drawing. They click and drag items from the left (snowflakes, polar bear, snowman) to create a winter scene. Next, students graph how many of each object they included in their scene. Students complete the sentence frames and type an equation to correspond with the sentences they wrote.
Since Google Drawing is not compatible with a tablet device, this template will not work on a tablet.
