Christmas is quickly approaching and I am super excited about the fun things we have planned! We recently put up a Christmas tree to help with our 10 Christmas Math Centers Pack! This pack is full of hands-on math centers that help teach and reinforce Common Core Math Standards!
We started off with the math center that worked on counting by 5’s. Audrey was thrilled when she saw the Christmas ornaments ready for her to hang up! I simply cut out the ornaments from our 10 Math Centers pack, hole punched the bulbs and attached a wire ornament hanger…just like real Christmas ornaments!
Since all of the numbers were a bit overwhelming, I had her start off by sorting the Christmas ornaments in our cute Christmas decorated pocket chart. This was a bit less overwhelming for her and really helped nail the concept!
After ordering the ornaments from 5-100, she hung them on the tree! Oh my goodness…we had so much FUN doing this! Even little Sophia was ready to help:) We practiced counting by 5’s from the top of the tree to the bottom. It can’t get better than this!

These look like so much fun–I think I can adapt them for my 5-year old too! I hope you'll share this post at my new Preschool Christmas Party linky (http://preschoolpowolpackets.blogspot.com/2012/12/christmas-party-linky.html)!

That is just too cute Annie. Love the ornament idea and her very own learning x-mass tree. Just perfect. So my question is on x-mass day does she get gifts under that tree too? j/k LOL

I just got the math centres printed today, picked up my laminator yesterday and can't wait to get everything ready to be used this week! Thanks for the freebie – it will be lots of fun. BTW, I love seeing shorts in December. We were above zero deg celsius today, but a LONG way from wearing shorts! Enjoy!
