Fun Math Lesson Plans and Powerpoint
Presentations For Christmas and Winter
Welcome to my Christmas and winter math teaching resources page.
On this page, you will find fun math activities that will engage your students learning this December and January!
These Christmas and winter lesson plans review addition, subtraction, multiplication, decimals, place value, and money skills.
Motivate your students to learn their multiplication tables with my one of a kind ice cream multiplication
charts that grow taller as your students learn each of their times tables.
Many students find traditional math exercises boring and dull. I encourage you to use fun powerpoint presentations to
bring life to these boring mathematics exercises.
At the beginning of math class, provide your students with a fun powerpoint warm up activity using one of the Mr. and Mrs. Clause Go Shopping
math word problems. These animated word problems require students to solve questions involving addition, multiplication, money,
decimal points, and place value.
The next day, have your students complete an Christmas math puzzle that will engage your students solving addition, subtraction,
and multiplication equations.
I hope that these Christmas and winter math teaching resources will provide you with some ideas for
some fun math activities that you can complete with your students during December and January.
Below you will find short descriptions for
the 5 math resources that are found on this page.
Keep scrolling this page to see detailed descriptions and larger picture examples for each resource set.
