Who doesn't love ice cream especially on a hot summer day?! Check out this great way to have fun with your kids and also challenge their math skills!
Take a Survey:
Have your kids take a survey of their friends and family using some of these questions (or create their own!) Knock on neighbors doors (if you feel comfortable) or call some friends and family on the phone. 1. What's your favorite flavor?
2. Do you prefer water ice, gelato, or popsicles?
3. Do you prefer your ice cream in a cone (if so, what kind) or a dish?
4. Do you like soft ice cream or hard ice cream?
5. What do you think is the most popular flavor of ice cream? (see trivia below)
6. Do you prefer Rita's or Dairy Queen?
7. Make up your own questions!!
After taking the survey, your kids can ave some fun with the results. If your child is young they can add up the tally. If they are older, they can have them do a prediction, add up the tallies, graph the results, and come up with conclusions.
