I actually went online and found the math worksheet that I used with a student a few weeks ago…when I saw the snowball, this sheet popped into mind [link]

Thanks for doing these!

Robert, do you have any photos of the molds in action? Do you use silicone spray to get good, clean release?

I’ve been having fun making them in random places around town for weeks.

Thanks for the Stopped. Watched. TeacherPatti!

When I think snowball I think round like in sphere, and that was its geometric shape. What am I missing? Modern “math”?
