67 Meme Winter Plotting Points on the Coordinate Plane Pixel Art
Math, Holiday & Seasonal, Holidays, Christmas, Winter, Seasons, Geometry, Graphing, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Activities
This activity is based on the 67 viral meme, your students will go crazy. Trust me when I say that if you have ever attempted to incorporate coordinate plane practice in the winter months in the classroom, you know exactly what I am talking about: restless kids, short attention span, and anything resembling “schoolwork” gets the side eye. This pixel winter-themed project removes all of this stress from your shoulders. It provides your 5th or 6th-grade students with appreciable point-plotting practice while being different from the norm. The best part about this is how simple it is: Students put twenty coordinate pairs in the familiar drag-and-drop interface. With each correct point placed, students get a glimpse of a puzzle image hiding behind the coordinate grid. Piece by piece, the complete winter image emerges. Even those students who tend to zone out in graphing class sit up straight knowing there's going to be a reward in the form of unearthing a picture. It's not just another graphing project—it's like puzzle-solving. And the best part of this process? This process is completely self-checking. You don't have to be right there in front of the computer, adjusting and confirming if the point is in the correct spot. The lesson handles all of this information by itself. A point in the wrong spot simply means the image doesn't appear. The students learn from this process and try again. You can also use this resource in multiple ways; you can use it digitally in class practice or incorporate it in your homeward assignments as an interactive way to review. This resource works perfectly after demonstrating the coordinate graph in class for the first time, during a spiral review in the middle of the unit, or even right before class if there's going to be a test. This resource fits perfectly in class because of the wintery theme; in fact, it doesn’t cross over into anything holiday-related. Here's what's included: • Digital no-prep pixel art lesson • Twenty drag-and-drop ordered pairs with coverage of all four quadrants • Fully self-checking format featuring a winter mystery picture • Easy-to-follow student instructions • Ready-to-use environment that can be assigned in seconds Teachers appreciate that this activity is fresh and interesting yet not complicated. Students appreciate that this activity is like working on a puzzle compared to other math assignments. And you will appreciate that this process provides you with reliable data from practice without contributing more to your grading stack. This Mystery Picture Activity in math class would be the perfect way for your students to develop coordinate planes this winter if you want the students to have fun doing math assignments.

Winter Unit Rates Word Problems Digital Escape Room
Math, Fractions, Winter, Seasons, Holiday & Seasonal, Grade 5, 6, 7, Escape Room, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Worksheets
If your students struggle with unit rates, this Winter Digital Escape Room will give them the practice they need without the struggle. Rather than slog through another page of word problems, students are placed into a scenario where unit rate problems are a necessary part of bringing back the Frostbite Festival. This allows enough purpose to be added to avoid taking away from the math. Students work through twenty actual-unit-rate word problems set in four escape room winter scenes: The Snack Shack, Skating Trail, Yeti Workshop, and Penguin Performance. Students work with word problems related to cost, distance, time, and quantity from the everyday experience they realize from using unit rates. In order to progress, students must compute the correct answer and type it into the escape room. The escape room is a completely self-contained activity, which means students will not be able to progress with an incorrect answer, making this activity perfect for independent practice. One of the most beneficial aspects of this resource is the low level of work that it generates. There is no prep work that is necessary. You don’t have to set up anything, including logins and passwords and lock screens. You can just send out the link via Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Microsoft Teams, or whatever tool that you are using. They just click and start. This autosave functionality comes in very handy during longer class times or interruptions. So long as students have had the chance to log back into the same computer and browser, they will pick up exactly where they left off. To make it more flexible, a printable version is also included. You will get a worksheet featuring all twenty unit rate problems, a matching version task card set, and finally, a full answer key. This is perfect for math center activities, small-scale intervention groups, or homework. Both the student and teacher instructions are provided and WrittenClearly, so there’s no misunderstanding or guestimation of how to do things. Students know just how to input their answers, and teachers know how to assign and use the autosave function. The skills which will be developed here include the understanding of the interpretation of unit rates, calculating a unit rate from a ratio, and using the rate in practical applications of money, time, distance, and measure problems. A winter unit rate resource that is engaging, organized, and actually easy to implement is not easy to find, but this escape room resource certainly delivers all of these things. Such a resource keeps students on task and provides a reliable no-prep resource for you to implement repeatedly.

Transition Element Flashcards – Chemistry Symbol and Name Matching Set

Transition & Inner‑Transition Elements Flashcards – Chemistry Symbol and Name Matching Set Holiday Theme: Christmas This is a printable flashcard set I’ve used in chemistry classes, mostly with upper secondary students. The cards focus on the transition and inner transition elements. So we’re talking about the d-block and f-block – the ones students often find harder to remember, especially when they all start sounding similar. I usually bring this out in December when we’re still covering content but everyone’s a bit tired and ready for a change of pace. The cards have either the element’s name or its symbol. Students have to match the two, and they can do that in pairs or small groups. It works like a memory game or just a straight matching activity, depending on how much time we have. Some years I use the cards just for review, other times we build sorting activities around them. Like dividing the metals into transition, lanthanides and actinides. It depends on the group. Advanced students sometimes add a use or a property for each element as they go, which makes it more of a challenge. There are a lot of cards – over 250 – but I don’t always use them all. You can just print the ones you need. I usually go with thicker paper or cardstock, and if I have time, I laminate them so they last. Once cut, I keep them in envelopes and reuse them next year. The design has a winter look – nothing too bright or distracting, just something that makes it feel a bit more seasonal without being silly. I’ve found it helpful for lessons when you still want students to work with real content, but in a way that feels relaxed. Especially useful before the holidays or at the end of a topic on metals. Everything’s in the file – all cards and a short page with tips. It’s been a helpful tool in my December lessons. 📍 Happy teaching, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and welcoming learning environment. 🐶

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. Wishing you lots of cozy ideas and creative energy this winter ❄️ – Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know?

Let’s turn Thanksgiving into a feast of creativity with Thanksgiving Writing Prompts! This fun-packed activity is stuffed with opportunities for kids to write, draw, and share their most hilarious and heartfelt Thanksgiving ideas. With topics like what they’re thankful for, their dream turkey dinner, or imagining life as an actual turkey (spoiler: it’s stressful), these prompts bring out the best of their imaginations, no gravy required. First, kids will gobble up the chance to write their thoughts, whether it’s a laugh-out-loud turkey escape plan or a sweet reflection on family traditions. Whether they’re describing how they’d turn stuffing into a world-class dessert or inventing a superpower to make the dishes magically clean themselves, the writing prompts keep things light, engaging, and oh-so-fun. Once the words are down, it’s time to add some artistic flair! Each writing prompt comes with space to draw, turkeys in disguise, Grandma’s famous pumpkin pie, or even a family food fight (oops). It’s the perfect excuse to get creative and colorful. These Thanksgiving Writing Prompts make writing less of a chore and more of a festive celebration. Perfect for classrooms, family gatherings, or just passing time before the pumpkin pie is served. Because who said creativity can’t be on the menu? Enjoy!
