Use Math Word Problems to help teach the real meaning of Christmas….here’s an example.
My mentor and I made 24 cookies for the teachers at my school. I decided to make 12 more to give to my neighbors to show them kindness. How many cookies did I make in all?
Vary these questions according to grade and skill level. To make it a bit more fun try this…create a simple green Christmas tree from construction paper. Everytime your child answers a math problem correctly let them add a Christmas sticker on the tree. When the tree is all decorated let the child choose the next activity you will do together.
