- Skittles Distributive Property - students use skittles as models to discover the distributive property. They will create groups and show their work using Skittles.
- Christmas Volume/Surface Area - students will build nets of shapes using grid wrapping paper, they will then calculate the volume and area by measuring the dimensions as well as using the appropriate formulas.
