Three Hanukkah activities

Potato Latkes – updated for 2022 – Little potato pancakes are a traditional food for Hanukkah celebrations. In my mom’s recipe, they are salty, deep fried, and delicious. In modern latke recipes the salt and fat are decreased. How do the two recipes compare? 6.RP.A, 7.RP.A, MP6, MP8
Hanukkah is soon – updated for 2022 – Hanukkah begins on Sunday, December 18^th. Students appreciate the incredible mathematics involved in creating a calendar (Hebrew calendar) that aligns both the moon’s revolution about the Earth and the Earth’s revolution about the Sun. 5.NBT, 5.OA, 6.SP, 8.SP, S-IC

Holiday Soda Displays – We found creative soda displays made up of 6-packs of Coca Cola products. Ask students to guess the quantity without counting. Come up with a reasonable range for the number of twelve packs. Find numbers that are too high and too low. 3.MD.5, 3.MD.6, 3.MD.7, 4.NBT.5, 5.NBT.5, 7.SP.5, 7.SP.7a
