Caps for Sale

For school on Monday, we read "Caps for Sale" by Esphyr Slobodkina. Cute story, plus it inspired all sorts of fun activities. We pulled out all our caps and hats and the kids tried to see how many they could get on their head at one time. Then we did some math activities for all ages, ranging from sorting the hats in colors, estimating how many there were of each, graphing how many of each to more compicated equations involving money and multiplication.
