It’s that time of the year when winter weather creeps in, and brings with it a lot of fun and excitement! What better way to celebrate the winter season than by incorporating it into our math lessons. These resources are PERFECT! Here are my FAVORITE winter-themed, hands-on math lessons for my mixed-aged group class! (There is even a freebie!)
It’s that time of the year again when winter creeps in and brings with it a lot of fun and excitement- even for the big kids!! What better way to celebrate the winter season than by incorporating it into our math lessons. This resource is PERFECT.
You’ve found a winter math-themed, NO PREP, hands-on way to have students practice geometry vocabulary! This geometry color-by-code activity is easily used for math centers or stations and is the perfect NO PREP way to make learning geometry fun! Just print and go!
This activity is a NO PREP holiday / seasonal themed math center, math small group, or whole group activity for your fourth-grade, fifth-grade, or even sixth math classroom. There are 4 winter themed color by code pages. Answer keys are included.
The following terms and matching examples are on the picture for students to identify and color according to the code:
line
ray
line segment
right angle
obtuse angle
acute angle
parallel lines
perpendicular lines
Intersecting lines
*Also includes identifying base shapes of a 3d figure*
Repetition is the name of the game when it comes to mastering any math concept! Practice really does make perfect (or improvement). I am always looking for new, inventive, and fun ways to encourage practice and repetition with math concepts in my classroom. That is why I developed these fun hundreds board Mystery Pictures for counting money. These puzzles are differentiated with three different complexity levels, and fit great into math centers (or workstations) as well as whole group instruction.
Students must count each set of coins, write the corresponding number, and color in that number square on a corresponding 100’s chart (also included). To keep students organized (which can sometimes be a struggle), coin sets are presented in an organized fashion, with a place to check off each problem once they have been colored in.
This is a great activity to reinforce counting coins in a mixed set, skip counting, and basic addition.
