There are many ways to use these Logic Problems throughout the month leading up to Christmas. Try them as:

• early finisher tasks
• morning math tubs
• an "around the room" gallery walk - post the cards around the room and have students circulate, answering them as they go
• math stations (let students work in partners, and listen to the amazing math conversation they will have as they use critical thinking and reasoning skills!)

If you are like most teachers and teach a class with a wide variety of ability levels, I highly recommend you provide differentiation for your students. You want to provide just enough challenge for each student but not SO MUCH challenge that this activity becomes frustrating.

To help you make differentiation simple, assign specific sets to students, or lay them all out and have students choose the set that provides the perfect amount of challenge for their brain! (This can be a great way to empower your students and teach responsibility for their own learning.)

For each of the 20 logic puzzles, your students will find the value for each Christmas symbol and record it on the accompanying recording sheet. An answer key is also included.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This is a wonderful product that helps students practice their reasoning skills while getting ready for the winter holiday." Heather Z.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This was a fun way to practice what we were learning. We did 3 questions under the document camera each morning until done. We did these first to get thinking processes going and them moved onto more complicated ones. The students really enjoyed." Carolyn J.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "My students loved working through the equations to find the numbers related with each picture. They enjoyed the holiday pictures used in the equations." Lori S.
