In reply to Karina Bustamante. Using children\'s books and songs (Like Monkeys Jumping on the Bed) are practical and straightforward ways to introduce early math concepts. Even though putting dogs in the bed may not appeal to you, the idea that dogs are warm and cuddly (you could liken it to stuffed animals) is relevant and makes sense to children. Dogs are familiar as is being cold in Chicago. So if we are looking for relevant and meaningful ways to help children make connections - this may be one way to do it.

This idea did not appeal to me as much as the other activities. Although, I did like the dog stickers activity. That will help a lot with math concept. I think that it might be a good idea to maybe mention to them this short story and then connecting the mathematical connection to the saying \”three dog night\” and then coming up with other ideas to recreate an activity based off of this. For example, connecting it to the book 10 monkeys. The book is great for showing math to children because it starts off with 10 monkeys jumping on the bed, then one by one continue to fall until there are no more monkeys left on the bed.

Hi Jen,
I like this article is one of the great ideas for the teachers or parents to teach kids in both math and science theme by using animals. Since children living in a cold weather in Chicago, they are able to relate to their everyday experiences. Also, the children could discussion this expression about mathematical and refers to a night that so cold by using a Three Dog Night. Or, we could teach kids about what kinds of the animals living in the cold weather.

Hi Jen!!

I love the way you found how you can use dogs as an expression. Three dog Night can be used to describe how cold it is, is a very unique saying, and using Two Dog Night as a cold night to follow up is wonderful. It reminded me of the expression it\’s raining cats and dogs. Where it is used to say it\’s raining really hard. But what I love the most is how you Incorporated math with the subject dogs to represent the weather, I think that is a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing it!

Hi Jen!

Who knew where the expression originally came from! My first thought was the old rock band \”Three Dog Night\” – We live in a building in which no pets are allowed but I have neighbors who might let me take a picture for the blog

I know the class will enjoy this blog and will send pictures for the blog
