The color orange is so cheery and bright. You can probably use any color you choose to do these activities.
Get a bag and pick up all you can find that has the color orange (you could be given a timed amount like 3 minutes if you want to make it more fun).
- How many items did you find? What is the biggest item? What is the smallest? About how much do they weigh? (You could do subtraction by using a scale with and without your items to find their approximate weight)
- What are the shapes of your items? Can you measure their length and width?
- Make an accurate pie chart based on your items.
- Since I found 7 items I would start with finding out how many degrees each pie section should be (360°/7=51.4°). I would draw that out and label: 2/7 fruit, 1/7 vegetables, 2/7 writing utensils, 1/7 toys, and 1/7 lids.
Do you have some other ideas?
You continue to come up with wonderful ideas. Hope the challenge is going well for you.
