Getting students to remember whether to add or subtract on story problems takes time. Then, once they get it, they forget it soon after the unit is finished. Take 2 minutes out of each day to practice one December/winter holiday themed addition/subtraction story problem to keep it in the front of your student's mind. You can also put these around the room and have students (alone or with a partner) move card to card in 1 minute/30 second rotations to play a scoot game. All story problems are addition or subtraction. Some are one step and some are two steps. They are of double digit numbers, but there are NO regrouping problems.
Included: 19 December/Christmas/winter holiday themed story problems, 1 cover (to keep task cards together on a key ring if using whole class), 1 scoot record sheet (if using as an around the room game).
