Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Although we might not have real snow on the ground right now, you can still make it snow on your computer!  The Make-a-Flake snowflake maker lets you create your very own unique flakes without all those pesky peices of paper all over the floor!

And don't worry, it's not just for fun...
You can use it:
as a planning activity before you actually cut out paper snowflakes
as a introduction to symmetry
to explore acute, obtuse, and right angles
to introduce the concept of unique crystalline structures in nature!

or you could just use it on the SMARTboard to grab your students' attention while they are thinking ahead to the break!
