Santa's Village Christmas Map Project

Santa’s Village Map Project

This super engaging project is perfect for the week before Christmas! Students will create arrays of different items that might be found in Santa’s Village in the North Pole. This Christmas Map project is a hands-on way to reinforce area, perimeter, factor pairs, map skills and finding and identifying coordinate points on a graph.

For each item student are asked to record the array(s) used, multiplication fact(s) that helped them, the total area and the perimeter of each item. Some items are a simple rectangle, while other aspects, such as the reindeer barn have rooms within the building. Specifications are given for each room in the building.

Two options of this project are included:

Option One:
*All buildings are given (Santa’s house, reindeer barn, candy shop, etc)
*Units are given for each building and students must create the building to the given specification
*Students will add 3 of their own buildings
*Word problems that can be solved with the map are included
*Graphing coordinate points sheet is included
*Blank sheets for students to create their own word and graphing problems are included

Option 2
*All buildings to be included are given (Santa’s Workshop, elf club house, etc)
*Students must decide how big or small to make each building
*Students add 3 of their own buildings
*Students write their own word problems
*Graphing coordinate points sheet is included

This project can be fully differentiated to fit the needs of your students!
