Description
This activity requires students to create their own unique holiday version of Pascal's Triangle. Lots of arithmetic is required to get the triangle/tree completed, but the real fun comes while coloring the tree. Specific instructions are given for how to color the tree in such a way to see beautiful mathematical patterns emerge. The instructions are even differentiated based on the ability of the students, with one method being easier and the other more advanced. Either method will yield fascinating, beautiful results. This product reinforces addition, division, and other skills, and reinforces Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practices such as attending to precision and using math tools appropriately.

Great activity for my Math Club kids. They really enjoyed it!
My students loved doing this activity during the build up to the deccember break. Fun and engaging, makes a nice class display. Thank you.
Great Resource - thank you!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
Nice product for the price.
Looking forward to using in December! Thanks!
Fun activity! Thanks!
This was perfect when I had a short class period right before a weekend. I had just introduced Binomial Theorem.
Fun!
