Melted Snowman Math Concepts

These adorable, quick and easy snowmen are a nice way to review spheres turning into circles. ( You could even melt a snowball and show the solid turning into a liquid.)

Include the 3-D toilet paper tube hat and review the cylinder shape as well.

You can also show the concept of small, medium and large and have your students trace those words as they cut and assemble their snowman.

The eyes and mouth are circles, the nose is a triangle and the twig arm parts are rectangles.  Toss in a buckle on the hat and you’ve also covered the square shape.

Have your students trace the “I’m melting!” sentence and review contractions and the exclamation punctuation mark.

Have students cut and glue the extra blank “conversation” bubble and write another caption on the other side for a quick writing extension.

The mini poem offers a rhyme and reiterates the change in shapes: "My snowman was 3 snowballs, 3 spheres with a hat.  Now he has melted and is 3 circles that are flat!"

Count how many circles your students can spy on their melted man and then because he was made from 3 snowballs, finish off the number exercise by counting by 3’s.

I’ve included 2 traceable “Count by 3’s” skill sheets to help students with that.

Give students an option to put mittens on their snowman and review things that come in "pairs", left & right, and counting by two's!

Wow!  “Snow” much covered with one cute & quick project!
