Suggested Grade Levels (2nd-4th):

I use these Christmas math challenge problems to help push my advanced second graders into higher order problem solving thinking skills during math instruction. These also work well for third grade challenge problems, and could be an easier review for fourth graders.

Ideas for Use:

Some ideas to use this resource are as a scoot, as a Christmas math challenge problem of the day, by hiding them around your room and having students find them, or simply by using them on a binder ring as a task card set. Students are sure to rise to the challenge and it is a great way to promote critical thinking and problem solving skills either individually or as a group.
