How to Use This Pack

Five pages of snowman building. Page 1 is Roll and Build a Snowman, a dice game for two: each number on the die builds a part (1 the bottom snowball, 2 the middle, 3 the head, 4 the hat, 5 the face, 6 the arms), traced on a dashed snowman from the bottom up, with a tally mark for every roll. Page 2 has three snowmen, each with three numbers to 20 to cut out and glue in order, the smallest on the head and the biggest at the bottom. Page 3 has two snowmen and their parts to cut out: each part has an adding fact within 10, and it is glued where its answer is. Page 4 gives every snowman ten buttons, two by two as in a ten frame: draw the missing ones and write how many more. Page 5 is page 2 again with numbers to 100.

In the Classroom

Play page 1 in pairs at a math center, then ask who needed the most rolls and why some numbers took a long time to come up. Pages 2 and 5 work well with real paper snowballs on the board first: which number is smallest? Which is biggest? On page 3 the parts of both snowmen are the same shapes, so children have to add to know which snowman each one belongs to. There is nothing from any holiday on the pages, so they suit any class from December to February.

At Home

Play the dice game together and count the tally marks at the end. On page 4, count the buttons by twos down the snowman, then count on to 10 for the missing ones.

Tips for Success

Build from the bottom up: a head needs a middle, and a middle needs a bottom
Smallest on the head, biggest at the bottom
Add first, then find the answer on a snowman
Buttons go two by two, like a ten frame: count by twos to 10

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

K.CC.B.4a Count objects by saying numbers in order and matching exactly one number to each object, none skipped or counted twice.
K.CC.B.4b Know the final number in a count gives the total, and the total stays the same however the objects are arranged or counted.
K.CC.B.5 Tell how many: up to 20 objects in a line, array or circle, or 10 scattered. Also count out a requested number up to 20.
K.OA.A.2 Solve story problems and add or subtract with totals up to 10, modeling them with objects or drawings.
K.OA.A.4 For a number from 1 to 9, find the partner that adds with it to 10, and show it in a picture or number sentence.
1.OA.C.6 Add and subtract to 20, working fluently within 10, with strategies like counting on, making ten, fact families and doubles plus one.
1.NBT.A.1 Count up to 120 from any starting number, and read, write and use numerals up to 120 to show how many objects.
1.NBT.B.3 Compare two-digit numbers by looking at their tens and ones, and write the result with >, = or <.
1.MD.C.4 Sort and show data in up to three groups, then answer questions about the total, each group's count, and how groups differ.
