Mathematical Rainbow
  All you do is make a rainbow shape on a piece of white paper. Then have squares of paper in the colors of the rainbow, making sure they are about the same size. Have your student glue the squares mosaic style on the rainbow outline. I then had my boys count the number of squares they used. They started with his purple squares in the very middle. We noticed when he counted the different rows that they mostly went up in increments of two...the first row had three, the next five, the next seven...and so on.


Celtic Knot Cookies


 Have a little fun with geometry, making Celtic Knots out of snakes of cookie dough.



Remember the Rainbow Fruit Pizza from yesterday? Well, we had a lot of leftover fruit, so we put it to good use, making these Rainbow Fruit Pops. The secret is to use Capri Sun as the juice because it is nearly clear and allows the beautiful fruit to show through.
