Christmas Tree Math

Lets sneak a little Christmas Tree Math into our holiday crafting! It’s easy to create and fun to do. Win, win! A Christmas activity that makes adding and subtracting fun!


A fun way to practice addition and subtraction. Free printable for trees and worksheet at ActivitiesForKids.com.

A free printable is provided for 12 trees as well as the math worksheet for subtraction and addition. For younger children, use the trees with numbers as a counting tool. Children can punch holes to equal the number listed on the tree. This is also a perfect opportunity to practice fine motor skills as well with cutting and hole punching.  

Give older children a challenge by seeing how many ways they can use the 12 trees to create the math formulas. Children can create a game of speed, challenging each other.
