Gingerbread

Cookies

Sift into a big bowl and mix the following ingredients:

2 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon of baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon cloves

1/4 teaspoon allspice

Beat together the following ingredients in another bowl:

1 egg

1 Cup firmly packed brown sugar

Add dry ingredients slowly to wet the mixture until well blended.

Cover and refrigerate for one hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Sift flour onto your board and your rolling pin as you work to keep

the dough from sticking. Roll out a portion of the dough 1/4 inch

thick. Cut out your gingerbread men with a two-inch floured

cookie cutter. Or, with floured hands, shape and hand press your

own little gingerbread men. One way to shape them is to make a

little ball for the head, a larger ball for the body, and stick-shaped

rolls for arms and legs. Decorate with raisins. Place 1 inch apart on

a buttered cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes or until slightly firm to the

touch. Cool on wire rack. This will make about 50 cookies.

Materials:Materials:Materials:Materials:

* Large drawing of the gingerbread man.

* Rulers

DirectionsDirectionsDirectionsDirections::::

1. On the large gingerbread man poster and student

copy write the words "estimate" and "actual" under the

following body parts of the drawing:

Page 3: Some Sweet Things To

Mtra. Graciela Bilat

a. arms - arm span measured

b. height

c. legs - leg span measured.

2. Students estimate the measurement first. Then

measure each area indicated on the drawing. Write the

prediction/estimate and actual measurement found with a

ruler.

3. Compare the student answers with the

measurements on the large poster which you measure

together. I also use this as a center. Each group estimates the

measurements of the poster and writes down their findings.

At the end of the day, we compare the estimated figures with

actual measurements.

AAAADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR DDITIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR DDITIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR DDITIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR MEASUREMENT:MEASUREMENT:MEASUREMENT:MEASUREMENT:

1. Copy small gingerbread men on copy paper. Place about 8 on each

page.

2. Copy the pattern on brown construction paper.

3. Have the students cut out the gingerbread men patterns. Place in a

zip-lock bag.

4. Have students write their name or initials on the back of each

gingerbread man pattern that they cut out.

5. Students can work with partners to measure different objects or

distances.

6. On chart paper – You can use this as a math work station - write the

activities or things the students are going to measure in the station. Use

pictures whenever possible. Examples may include:

a. How many gingerbread men do you need to go from the teacher's

desk to the door?

b. How many gingerbread men do you need to cover the length of

your desk/table?

c. How many gingerbread men do you need to cover the length of this

chart paper?

d. How many gingerbread men do you need to cover a pencil?

7. The measurements can be converted to measured lengths as the lesson

when all students have made their estimations.

8. Graph the responses.

MATH STORY PROBLEMS:MATH STORY PROBLEMS:MATH STORY PROBLEMS:MATH STORY PROBLEMS:

This activity can be done as a center, seatwork, or interactive writing.

For interactive writing, you can begin with an invented storyline about

a group of gingerbread men. This can be done with gingerbread men for

place value, addition and subtraction. The following is an example of a place

value activity.

1. Write numbers on the gingerbread men. (for second grade I also

include hundreds).

2. Make a place value chart using the number of values you wish to

use in the lesson. For the number 33:

As interactive writing, you can invent story problems. Using

gingerbread men on a flannel board to manipulate the concepts.

Then, students can write about the problem on a story chart with the

teacher. "There were five gingerbread men. ___________ (student's

name) ate three of them. How many do we have now?" Students can

write: We have two gingerbread men to eat?

Graphing:Graphing:Graphing:Graphing:

1. Use the same gingerbread boy patterns on construction paper. This

time copy the gingerbread men on different colored paper. Have students group by

color. Then graph how many of each color. Make sure you vary the number of

gingerbread men in each color.

2. Take a survey and graph: How many like gingerbread men with icing,

raisins, plain, etc.

The Gingerbread ManThe Gingerbread ManThe Gingerbread ManThe Gingerbread Man Rap/SongRap/SongRap/SongRap/Song

From: 28 Folk and Fairy Tale Poems and Songs

A baker took some gingerbread dough

And shaped a man from head to toe.

When it was baked, the cookie fled.

Here is what the cookie said:

CHORUS; Run! Run! As fast as you can!

You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!

Run! Run! As fast as you can!

I'm the gingerbread man!

Page 6: Some Sweet Things To

The cookie man ran past a cow

Who saic, "I want to eat you now!"

The cookie man just laughed and fled.

Here is what the cookie said:

CHORUS

A farmer saw the man go by.

He chased him low, he chased him high

The cookie man just shook his head.

Here is what the cookie said:

CHORUS

He finally reached the river wide,

A fox asked, "Would you like a ride?"

The cookie sat on the fox's head,

Here is what the sly fox said:

"You can't run! That's my plan!

I'm going to eat you, gingerbread man!

You can't run" That's my plan!"

And he ate the gingerbread man.
