This fun, hands-on Christmas craft pack ticks a lot of boxes. Your students will love making seven Christmas crafts, which could be turned into ornaments, and there’s an option to cover geometry maths skills at the same time.
The seven crafts include a Christmas tree (cone), present (cube), bauble (sphere), milk and biscuits (cylinders), Santa hat (pyramid), and gingerbread house (rectangular prism and triangular prism).
To turn the crafts into ornaments add string or ribbon, or use the paper handles included on each page.
To integrate this activity with maths, use the properties of 3D shapes for younger students, and the nets with measurements and recording sheets for finding the surface area of the nets. The net measurements are based on the actual sizes rounded to the nearest inch or cm and range in size from 2-6 inches/4-8cm.
What’s included?
U.K and U.S versions (spelling, letter and A4)
Christmas tree
Present
Bauble
Milk and biscuits
Santa hat
Gingerbread house

PPT aimed at GCSE foundation - covering area of rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, trapezia. Area and circumference of circles. Volume of prisms including cuboids and cylinders.
Complete with learner example booklet and short topic test on surface area & volume.
** This is my first attempt at interleaving. The practice questions include topics covered in previous slides, increasing retrieval strength.
This Notebook presentation covers more than 12 lessons.
1. Volume by counting cubes
2. Volume of Cuboids
3. Volume of composite objects
4. Suface area of Cuboids
5. Cross sectional area of Prisms
6. Volume of Prisms
7. Volume of a Cylinder
8. Volume of a Cone
9. Volume of a Sphere
10. Volume of composite objects
11. Suface area of a Triangular Prism
12. Surface area of a Cylinder
Each concept is introduced through direct instruction, interleaved practice to increase retrieval strength and then a diagnostic question and/or a Craig Barton Venn diagram.
Answers are included in the presentation.
There are also active learning suggestions, including games and challenges.
The direct instruction slides follow my “Education Scotland friendly” adaptation of Craig Barton’s example problems pairs.
I have also included some of my own diagnostic questions in the presentation.
If you want more questions of a similar style; Maths bot and Dynamic Maths are excellent websites where endless questions can be generated.
This was just a quicky that someone has asked me for via my facebook page.
It is a PDF aimed at introducing volume and surface area into year 7.
5 questions that will be useful for either a class or homework.
Enjoy.
