Holiday Math Activity {FREEBIE}

Happy One-Week-Before-Christmas-Break!

I know this upcoming week is going to be filled with anticipation, excitement, and crazy students....

Here's a fun game to help keep your students engaged and on track.

It's just like a memory game- students turn the cards over with a partner (or by themselves), and take turns flipping two cards over. The goal is to find two cards with the sum of 20. Click {HERE} to grab it!

Need a fun holiday project...???

If you're looking for a fun holiday activity in your classroom (or at home for your kiddos!), you MUST run over to

I am SO excited to do this unit with my kids this week! 

So much so that this is what I did on my Saturday night:

Gingerbread house prototype!!!

And my living room has turned into a gingerbread house prep factory!!!

I love it! 

On top of the fun, though, there's TONS of Common Core aligned activities- I'm talking reading comprehension, writing, math!!!!- to engage your students!  

Plus, EVERY single thing you need to have a successful gingerbread building house celebration is included here! Everything! Directions, tips, tricks, family letter! I'm all set!  

I've even turned it into an incentive for good behavior (because they're a little whack-a-do lately excited about Santa coming- if you know what I mean...)! Kids earn quarters for good behavior, and on Thursday they're going to visit the gingerbread supply shop and purchase the items they want to decorate their gingerbread houses on Friday!  

I'm looking forward to a fun gingerbread week with my students thanks to Amy!!!

Holiday Party Pack & A FREEBIE!!!

I am so excited to share my Holiday Party Pack with you!!!! Our Pumpkin Party was such a huge hit (you can read about the Pumpkin Party HERE), I thought I'd do something similar for the holidays! 

Check it out the five (Common Core aligned!) stations included in this pack:

Great incentive/management plan for December;

Counting & working with money 

Estimating and skip counting 

Adding multiple numbers 

(Pin the Tail on the Donkey type game!) 

Sorting and creating a bar graph using candy 

Volunteer & donation request forms

Each activity comes with a station sign, list of materials needed, directions, recording sheets in color and black & white! 

AND the Make 20 activity is a freebie! This is a fun memory type game where kids flip over cards- a match would be two cards with a sum of 20! Just click the picture below!!!

Adding numbers to make a sum of 20 

I'm planning on doing these activities on one afternoon as our holiday celebration. The kids will spend the afternoon moving through stations in small groups. 

So, if you're looking for something fun, AND Common Core aligned to keep your kiddies busy & learning before vacation, head on over to TPT to check it out- just click on any of the pictures! :)

I would also love to give this away to two friends! Just leave a comment (with your email!!!) and tell me your favorite thing about the holidays! I'll chose two random numbers tomorrow! :)

Have a great weekend!!!!
