About this resource
Description
Reading a thermometer is a real-world math skill: children use a number scale, count by twos, and decide what a temperature means. This save the snowman temperature activity turns that practice into a winter hunt for 2nd grade, 3rd grade and 4th grade students.
The pack has twelve lettered snowman cards, each with a Fahrenheit thermometer that counts by two degrees from 10 to 50. Tape the cards around the room. Children find each snowman, read the top of the red line, and write the temperature next to that letter on the Recording Sheet. Then they decide: at 32 degrees or colder the snowman is safe, but warmer than 32 degrees it melts. A 3rd grade practice worksheet follows with six thermometers to read and three to color in.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page
- 12 lettered snowman thermometer cards
- A Recording Sheet with Safe or Melts choices
- A 3rd grade practice worksheet
- Answer keys for the snowman cards and the practice page
Why This Thermometer Game Helps Kids
First, reading a scale marked every two degrees builds careful counting and number line skills. Second, comparing each reading to 32 degrees links the math to science, since water freezes at that temperature. Third, the room hunt keeps children moving and talking about numbers as they work, which makes the review feel like a real winter adventure.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the save the snowman temperature activity during a weather unit, on a snowy day, or at a math center. Older students can put all twelve temperatures in order from coldest to warmest. This 2nd grade temperature activity also works at home, where children can hide the cards for a family member to find.
