Source text - English 10 Ways to Use Halloween Candy as an Opportunity to Learn!
October is an exciting month for many children, as Halloween offers children an exciting time to be someone or something different. But for most children, the best part of Halloween is the CANDY! Who doesn’t love all access to as much candy as you can eat! This Halloween we can use children’s love of candy to integrate some math! Here’s some ideas that you can do with your child.
1. Counting candy – How many candies do we have in total? How many of this type? etc.
2. Sorting candy – Sorting by shape, colour, name, letter sounds, there’s so many ways to sort candy!
3. The Switch Witch – Trading candy for monetary value (i.e. one candy = 5 cents, 1 cent, 10 cents) and skip counting can be used to find out how much they earned.
4. Graphing – Using the sorted candy to graph how much they got in total of each type.
5. Experiment with manipulatives – Use manipulatives like base tens blocks, for example chips could represent hundreds blocks, chocolate bars could represent tens blocks and small pieces of candy like gum could represent one’s blocks.
6. Word Problem – Create realistic word problems that involve your child and candy!
7. Candy fractions – Use candy to show fractions, print or draw basic boxes with even sections, use the candy in each fraction to show how many you could have, and how many you have (i.e. “We have 2/5 candies).
8. Estimation – Use candy that has several pieces inside. Have the child guess how much candy they think is in the box, or how much candy they have in total. Then count to check.
9. Create a candy shop – Have your child build a candy shop where they can “sell” their candy. It is a great way to bring in some financial literacy.
10. Measurement – Use a certain candy as a unit of measurement (i.e. how many KitKats would it take to go across the floor)
Translation - Spanish ¡10 Maneras De Utilizar Las Golosinas De Halloween Como Una Oportunidad Para Aprender!
Para muchos niños, octubre es un mes emocionante, ya que Halloween les brinda la oportunidad de jugar a ser alguien o algo diferente. Pero para la mayoría de los niños, la mejor parte de Halloween son LAS GOLOSINAS. ¡A quién no le gusta disfrutar de todos los caramelos que se puedan comer! ¡Este Halloween podemos utilizar el gusto de los niños por las golosinas para integrar algo de matemáticas! Aquí tienes algunas ideas que puedes poner en práctica con tu hijo.
1. Contar golosinas - ¿Cuántas golosinas tenemos en total? ¿Cuántas son de este tipo? etc.
2. Clasificar golosinas - Clasifica por forma, color, nombre, sonidos de letras, ¡hay tantas maneras de clasificar golosinas!
3. La Brujita del Intercambio - Intercambia dulces por su valor monetario (por ejemplo, un caramelo = 5 centavos, 1 centavo, 10 centavos) y cuenta de forma salteada para saber cuánto ganaron.
4. Graficar - Utiliza los dulces clasificados para graficar cuánto recibieron en total por cada tipo.
5. Experimenta con materiales manipulativos - Puedes emplear materiales manipulativos como bloques de base diez. Por ejemplo, las bolsas de patatas en hojuelas pueden representar bloques de centenas, las barras de chocolate pueden representar bloques de decenas y pequeños trozos de golosina como el chicle pueden representar bloques de unidades.
6. Problemas matemáticos- ¡Crea problemas prácticos en los que participen tu hijo y las golosinas!
7. Fracciones con golosinas - Utiliza golosinas para representar fracciones, imprime o dibuja recuadros sencillos que tengan partes iguales, utiliza estas golosinas en cada fracción para mostrar cuántas podrías tener y cuántas tienes (por ejemplo, "Tenemos 2/5 de caramelos").
8. Estimaciones - Haz uso de caramelos de caja. Pide a tu hijo que adivine cuántos caramelos cree que hay en la caja, o cuántos caramelos podría tener en total. A continuación, cuéntenlos para comprobarlo.
9. Monta una tienda de golosinas - Haz que tu hijo construya una tienda de golosinas donde pueda "venderlas". Esta es una forma estupenda de transmitir conocimientos financieros.
10. Medición - Utiliza una golosina determinada como unidad de medida (por ejemplo, cuántos KitKats se necesitarían para cubrir el suelo).
