Snowball

Grade 5 G/T Mathematics
Closure - Snowball


Standards for Mathematical Practices: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6

In this closure activity, students answer a question and/or solve an equation.  Afterwards, students toss their snowball up in the air and then pick up a snowball that lands near them.  Students then find a partner.  With their partner, students compare and/or contrast the answer on the snowball they picked up.  Or students can discuss whether or not they agree with the answer on the snowball they picked up.

Questions you could ask:

1. How was the answer/solution on the snowball you picked up the same as your solution?  your partner's snowball?
2. How was the answer/solution on the snowball you picked up different from your solution? your partner's snowball?
3. Do you have a question about the answer on your snowball?  your partner's snowball
