Trim The Tree! was created as a center activity that engages Primary students in practicing math addition and subtraction facts with sums and differences from 7 to 12. Students will enjoy decorating the Christmas tree with brightly colored balls (math facts) by matching them to the correct answers on the trees stars.
This activity is complete with Christmas tree math mats, colorful balls as fact cards, and an easy-to-read directions card. Simply print it, laminate if desired, and cut apart.
