Inside the case file
Christmas multi-step math word problems bring holiday cheer to problem solving in this no-prep set of five festive "math stories," where 4th and 5th graders help Santa's sleigh, a Christmas toy drive, and holiday decorating — adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing their way through each scene. Every printable story sets a Christmas scenario and then asks five sequential questions that build on each other, plus a harder bonus question to stretch early finishers. Students practice reading carefully, choosing the right operation, and solving multi-step problems in context. Perfect for December math centers, morning work, homework, early finishers, the days before the holidays, test prep, and guided math groups.
