This challenging worksheet, Think and Solve: Holiday Traditions and Math, gives second graders four multiple choice problems including 12 gingerbread cookies plus 9, an 18 wreaths story with 9 returned, a vocabulary question on what hung means in 'hung stockings by the fireplace,' and a question matching the menorah to Hanukkah.
Five fill-in-the-blank items practice three-addend sums like 7 plus 6 plus 5 and differences such as 16 minus 7, plus vocabulary about wreaths on doors and gingerbread houses made of candy. Students stretch their reasoning while reviewing addition, subtraction, and holiday reading.
