My Pet Pal

Have students bring in a pet stuffed animal. Then, have them do a little math and writing with their pet pal!

1. Measure your pet. Check out the book Measuring Penny.

2. Weigh your pet.

3. Find two friends and create a fraction (Ex: 2 out of 3 are dogs - 2/3 are dogs).

4. Partner up with a friend and write the similarities and differences of your pets on a venn diagram.

5. Describe your pet (create a bubble map with adjectives).

6. Write a story about your pet.
