We prepared some Mathematic Christmas cards to send at some schools of the project! Hopefully you will receive them before Christmas!

Put the shapes in the right place!

1.Make a table with the desired shapes (We choose: circle, triangle, square, rectangle).
2.Choose images of objects with the desired shapes you have chosen. You can laminate the table or/and the images in order to make them more resistant.

3. Cut the images and at the back of each of them put two-sided adhesive tape. Do the same at the table. You can also put a special two- sided sticker which is used for the clothes.

4.The aim is to put the images in the place of the table that corresponds to their shape.

Put the eggs in the right place at the egg tray

Write with a marker additions(sums) of  three-digit numbers on the plastic eggs. Put at the bottom of the egg tray the correct numbers that correspond to the results. Mix the eggs. Students have to put the eggs in the right place of the egg tray. Enjoy!

Running birds

For this activity you will need:

• paperboards
• clothespins
• faked feathers 
• plastic eyes
• wooden cube or dice
• marker

Procedure:

1.  Make the birds using a clothespin, 2 plastic eyes and some feathers.
2. Design a number line at a paper board. Optionally you can laminate the number line.
3. Make your own dice using  a wooden cube and your marker. Otherwise, you can use an authentic dice.

How to play:

The game is played by 2 or more students, depending from the range of the number line. Every player throws the dice and moves on his/her bird so many numbers as indicated from the dice. The player that reach the end number of the number line is the winner!

I also used this game for just one student as empowerment  for the necessary learning support at maths. The aim was to reach herself/himself at the end of the number line by succeeding the number recognition at the number line and the correspondence with the numbers of the dice.
