Instructional Ideas

  • Assign the activity for learners to complete on their own tablets or computers as homework
  • Have groups estimate how many combinations they believe are possible before completing the exercise
  • Provide the gingerbread man supplies for class members to create their favorite combination

Classroom Considerations

  • Interactive website has sound; supply learners with headphones or have them turn the sound off
  • Includes the URL for the website, though the activity can be completed using just the list of supplies
  • Does not include an answer key or suggested responses

Pros

  • Activity is fun and engaging for learners of all levels
  • Encourages math skills and collaborative learning

Cons

  • None
