Holidays:

These Hanukkah student choice math activities for middle school students are perfect for celebrating and learning about the holiday in your classroom!

They are great as extension or early-finisher activities, or given as take-home independent practice work.

This packet includes a choice board of 9 Hanukkah math activities, plus all of the links and Hanukkah printables needed to complete the activities.

Students can choose from activities like:

Hanukkah Secret Message

Create a coordinate grid. Plot at least 15 points. Come up with a question to be answered about Hanukkah. Assign some points a letter value in order to create a secret code answer to the question, to be revealed at the completion of the activity.

Holiday Survey

Survey at least 15 of your classmates. Ask them if they know how many nights make up Hanukkah. Create a pie chart that shows the results of your survey. Use Infoplease to design a handout for others to learn about each night of the holiday.

Combinations of 28

Hanukkah starts on the 28th of November. Make combinations of 28 in 10 different ways, using the concept of order of operations. You should use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as exponents in each of your problems!. Write your combinations in your math journal.
