Looking for some fun math activities for the holiday season? These no-prep Christmas-themed brain teaser math problems will have your students using a variety of strategies to solve. There are ten sets of holiday problems that include a mix of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and even a few balanced equations. Each problem set includes a "missing piece" problem that also needs to be solved.

Students will need to put on their detective hats as they hunt for clues to solve the value of each Holiday icon in these deceptively simple math problems.

Tip: Use the example problems to model strategies for solving or see what strategies they utilize! Great for collaborative or independent math activities. The "Teacher Timesaver" is a handy sheet that shows where to start each brain teaser.
