parade | pəˈrād | noun
a public procession, especially one celebrating a special day or event and including marching bands and floats.
Who doesn’t love a good parade? People throwing out candy from elaborately decorated floats, listening to marching bands while baton twirlers dance by, watching the line of fancy cars drive by with kings and queens waiving…the list goes on!
A favorite tradition is watching the Rose Bowl Parade on New Year’s Day. There have been over 135 Rose Bowl parades in Pasadena, California.

- Set up your math mini spark recording page: #67: Rose Bowl Parade.
- Watch this video about the design and Manufacturing process for floats.
3. Record what you learned and an idea for a float.
4. Ask your EY teacher for the Rose Bowl Parade math page from the Mini Spark folder. You will calculate the number of flowers used to create the floats.
5. Work on this math activity at Bedtime Math. The answers to the math problems are at the bottom of the page, so don’t scroll all of the way down until you are ready to check your work.
6. Share your math mini spark recording page with your teacher/EY coordinator.
