Winter Games Order of Operations PEMDAS Pixel Art
Math, Holiday & Seasonal, Holidays, Winter, Seasons, Order Of Operations, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Activities
Rejuvenate your order of operations practice for 5th grade this winter with a digital pixel art resource! This order of operations (with parentheses) resource gives students practice with a vital skill in a fun, not-so-mundane way! For each correct answer, part of a Winter Games image is revealed. There are 20 questions that ask students to use order of operations to solve a problem. There are only positive integers used. Parentheses are included, however there are no exponents just yet. If the answer is correct, part of a Winter Games pixel art image is revealed. If the answer is incorrect, the image does not reveal and students should check their work. This is a self-checking activity, giving students instant feedback without adding to your grading pile! As an extension, there are ice hockey fun facts that are revealed as students finish the image. These are short and give kids something extra to be excited about, since they are related to one of the events of the Winter Games. This resource is no prep! The digital pixel art activity is ready to assign and works well for independent practice, a review day, or a technology center. A printable worksheet version is included, so you could easily assign the same questions as homework or use them for a small group of students who do not have computer access. You will also receive all of the problems in task card form, which work well for a math center, partner work, or math rotations. An answer key is included The different formats make it easy to differentiate and reuse. Students who need extra practice can do so, and advanced students or early finishers have something to keep them busy without giving them extra instructions. Since the activity is winter-themed, it is especially relevant during December, January, or a Winter Games math day. However, the content is generic enough to use all year for 5th grade order of operations review! What’s Included 20 order of operations problems (parentheses included, no exponents, positive integers only) Digital, self-checking pixel art activity Winter Games-themed mystery image Printable worksheet Task cards for centers or small groups Answer key Fun facts about ice hockey revealed at the end Teachers love how easy it is to use and how on-task the students are. Kids love unlocking the image with their correct answers! If you’re looking for a winter-themed order of operations math activity with high engagement, this is the one for you!

Each page is a masterpiece waiting for a splash of color, whether it’s a turkey with feathers of rainbow hues (because who said turkeys can’t be fabulous?) or a family of squirrels having their own mini-feast with acorns on the lawn. Your students will love adding their creative touch to these scenes, turning ordinary pictures into fridge worthy art that says, “I am thankful for coloring outside the lines.” The best part? There’s zero cleanup. No flour explosions, no stray cranberries rolling under the fridge just pure, mess-free coloring fun. Perfect for getting students in the Thanksgiving spirit without the drama of deciding who’s bringing the mashed potatoes. So grab those crayons, markers, or colored pencils, and let your students color their way to a happy Thanksgiving. Just watch out for the one kid who colors the turkey bright blue. You’ll need a story for that! Enjoy!

67 Meme Winter Christmas Solving One Step Equations Pixel Art
Math, Holiday & Seasonal, Holidays, Christmas, Winter, Seasons, Algebra, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Activities
If "67" has taken over your classroom talk, now is the perfect opportunity to turn it into something useful. This Christmas one step equation pixel art task is riding off the back of the viral trend "67" and giving it a purposeful spin. Rather than seeing a math problem pop up, students see a task with an end goal, something they are curious about completing right away. Students complete twenty equations with one-step solutions for both positive and negative integers. The exercises involve all basic arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division so that the pupils get excellent practice without overwhelming them. Every time the child gives the correct answer to the equation, a part of a puzzle with a winter scenery will be revealed to the child, and in the end, the well-known number 67 will be visible in winter colors. The digital version is completely self-checking, providing immediate feedback to the student as they complete questions. Incorrect math problems will not be revealed by the picture, prompting the student to take another look and complete the problem again. I find this feature to give the student instant feedback and to give you time to assist other students as they complete independent practice activities. To offer further flexibility, printable versions are provided as choices. These same twenty equations can be found in a worksheet form, making it simple to assign for homework or in-class work without technology. You will also see a complete toolbox of printable task cards, great for centers, group work, or a scuttlebutt rotation. A complete answer key is provided for easy assessment or review by students. This activity is perfect when done in December, when children tend to be especially energetic and have a hard time sitting still. It’s exciting enough to be seasonal and entertaining, yet formalized enough to provide actual value in improving their expertise. It’s also a great go-to activity in case of an emergency sub plan with no prep work involved. The skills that have been reinforced are the following: performing operations on one-step equations involving all four operations and developing fluency with positive and negative integers. Students are getting repetition without boredom and feedback without frustration. If you want to bring a little bit of Christmas spirit into the mathematics portion of your day while still focusing on the teaching and the learning, the Winter 67 Pixel Art provides the perfect remedy. This is easy to assign and administer, and it is impossible to ignore, in the best possible way.

Winter Snowflake Backgrounds – 16 Digital Papers for Worksheets, classroom decorations, Posters, and Presentations (A4 Format) PNG + PDF + TIFF Sometimes, a simple seasonal touch can change the feel of a whole lesson. When winter rolls around, I like to bring a bit of that atmosphere into my classroom—not just through content, but visually too. That’s why I created these snowflake-themed backgrounds. They’re quiet and subtle, but they add a touch of seasonal charm that helps students feel the shift in mood without being overwhelmed by decorations. In this set, you’ll find 16 digital backgrounds , each designed with different snowflake patterns—some small and scattered, some bold and oversized, and others arranged like a snowflake wall. I drew all of them in Procreate with classroom materials in mind. Whether you're designing a writing prompt for December, creating certificates or worksheets for winter-themed activities, or just want a more inviting look for your slides, these backgrounds work beautifully. What’s included: – 16 backgrounds in A4 format – Each design provided in: – PNG (great for layering) – PDF (ready for easy print) – TIFF (zipped high-res for professional use) Motifs include: – Small snowflakes – Medium-sized snowflakes – Oversized snowflakes – Snowflake wall patterns I’ve personally used them as backdrops for classroom displays, student writing pages, and even as digital paper in apps like GoodNotes or Notability. They also work well for bulletin boards, craft templates, or calming mindfulness journal pages during busy school days. Usage Notes: ✔ You’re welcome to use them for your own classroom projects and resources. ✔ Commercial use is allowed for educational products—as long as your own content is clearly visible ✘ What’s not allowed: sharing, giving away, or reselling the unaltered backgrounds.
