12 Days of Christmas -- Day 11


It's about time, teachers, to unwrap your gift for the 11th day of my 12 Days of Christmas giveaways.

This product is BRAND NEW and FREE for the 11th day of Christmas.

Since these will be used at a time of the year that can be filled with wiggles, the 36 task cards (or a portion of them) can be posted around the room. Then students can move about reading the ELF RIDDLES.

To find the answers to the riddles, pupils must solve math problems that then provide the letters needed.  The green cards require addition within 100 to unlock the code.  The red cards use subtraction within 100 and the blue cards require multiplication of two 1 digit numbers.   This variety of computation skills provides instant differentiation for your heterogeneous class.

If you prefer, eschew the task cards and use only the printables.  Give each student a copy of the computation clues sheet appropriate for his abilities.   Then give him the appropriate riddle sheets. (I print them on 2 sides).  Now stand back and enjoy the giggles.

12 Days of Christmas -- Day 10


Welcome to the 10th day of Christmas giveaways. Today's gift is SCRATTLE: The Christmas Edition.




SCRATTLE is a learning center activity that combines word work with computation; individual effort with competition. As in Scrabble™, students use a set of letters to create words. 


After recording their words, they calculate each word’s score using the Scrabble™ letter values. Then they engage a friend in a battle wherein they compare their scores using >, <, and =. The student with the most >s wins the battle! (SCRAbble + baTTLE = SCRATTLE!)

SCRATTLE can be played by students with basic addition capabilities, as well as those skilled in solving mixed operations in complex equations. Three different recording sheets are included, providing instant differentiation.


Use this multi-disciplinary center activity today!  It is ready to print and go.
