All products are digital downloads.

Have your students practice adding, subtracting, and multiplying decimals with this printable and digital real-world Christmas math activity. Students calculate the cost of a family's Christmas tree and decorations.

Using decimal multiplication, students will first find the cost of all the decorations for the tree using a product page containing pictures and prices. They will also calculate discounts after being given a list of coupons. Finally, they’ll finish the activity by finding the total cost of the decorations, after the discounts, with sales tax.

The digital versions of all activities are in Google Forms for use with Google Classroom.

This is a perfect way to review decimals before Winter Break!

Standards: 5.NBT.7, 6.NS.3

How Can You Use This?

Use this activity during the last 1-2 weeks of school before winter break. It can be assigned as a culminating project for Numbers in Base Ten or just as a fun activity to informally assess student mastery of decimal operations. This is perfect to print or schedule in Google Classroom to leave for a sub if you need a day off.

Differentiate: Assign some or all of the pages to your students, depending on how much of a challenge they need.
