Christmas Math Activity

This is the cutest activity ever and the kids LOVE it.  They first design their tree on paper by deciding what they are going to use to decorate their tree.  The 'tree' is a sugar ice cream cone and the
'decorations' are green icing, sprinkles, green sugar, red sugar and M&M's.  Each item has a cost and they have to determine how much their tree is worth.  After the design process students then "purchase" their supplies and begin decorating.  Once the tree is all decorated... it's time to eat!
