Make learning fun with this engaging Lunar New Year math activity! This Chinese New Year math set includes multistep word problems, multi step equations, and a festive winter color by numbers page.

Students practice two step word problems (all operations) using an order of operations worksheet (no exponents) format designed just for 3rd grade.

🧨 Students will:

• Read and solve two step and multi step word problems
• Match the problem to the correct answer (two answer choices)
• Use parentheses to follow order of operations
• Practice multiplication and division within 100
• Add and subtract within 1,000
• Color the picture using the answer key

The structure is intentional.

💥 This format builds confidence because students:

✔ Learn to identify the correct structure

✔ See how parentheses change the meaning

✔ Practice all four operations

✔ Get immediate feedback through the coloring

Students first solve each problem and record their answer. Then they choose the correct equation from two choices. Finally, they use the matching color to complete the winter color-by-number page.

🧧 Perfect for:

• Small group intervention
• Guided math rotations
• Independent practice
• Seasonal math centers
• Review before assessment

This respectful Lunar New Year math activity blends culture, structure, and skill-building into one engaging lesson your students will actually enjoy.
