Count, group and explain
Use theme motifs as objects in a word problem. Three groups of four ornaments total 12; removing two leaves 10. Draw the groups and state what each number represents before calculating.
After the activity
Design an ornament from two geometric shapes and explain how you would repeat its pattern in a garland. Connect Christmas vocabulary with decorations and scenes that participants can interpret in their own way.
Explain and check
Work through one example aloud before independent practice. To check 18 + 7 = 25, calculate 25 − 7. If a word problem asks about meters or coins, include that unit and check whether the answer fits the situation.
