Exploring the I Spy Snowflake Worksheets

  • Going over the data-gathering terms before you start will queue children in on all they are doing when they work on this sheet.

  • Next, children will need to count how many of each number appears on the page. You may want to have them color or cross out a number as they are counting.

  • Then have the children go back to double-check their counting. It is easy to miss a number!

  • Once they are sure they have the correct data for each number have them record it.
