Math @ Christmas??

I hope everyone had a great winter break!! It was wonderful to see everyone on back to school on Monday.
 
I know no one likes to think about school while they are on vacation.....BUT.....did anyone use Math over the break?
 
If you can post 1 or 2 ways that you used math over the break, you can earn 5 extra points on the Multiplication test this Friday!
You need to tell me what you did and what math concept is used.
 
Some examples may be:
  • Counting $$ you got from family practices addition and decimals.
  • Baking & using a recipe uses measurement.
  • Going shopping with money or gift cards uses addition and estimation to make sure you have enough money to buy what you want.
  • Sharing candy with friends or siblings uses division.
So how did YOU use math this Christmas?

  2. My mom and I made a gingerbread house. We used patterns on the outside of the house and we also had to figure out how many candies we would need to cover it. I also had to figure out how many batteries I needed for the remote control vehicles that I got. I had two so I had to add up what each vehicle needed and how many the controllers needed and add all of them together.

  8. I used addition to to add up the money and Gamestop gift card I got for Christmas. I used subtraction when I bought Mario and Sonic at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games for my Wii U.

  9. I helped my mom make a Christmas snack. That used measurement. I got money for Christmas that I counted. That was adding. And I spent my money and gift cards. I used estimation and adding to do that.
