Venn diagrams offer a way to look at relationships between logical sets or mathematical sets. The circles are the sets, the elements are listed in their respective circles, and if there is an overlap, that region signifies the intersection of the sets. Venns can also be nested, when sets are subsets of each other. A variety of Venns have been provided. There are basic, two circle that are configured to be folded and used in The Mathematicians’ Notebook or Journey’s Notebook. There are also three circle Venns and sorting ovals for nested Venns. A Venn mat on legal paper for work with manipulatives is also provided. This resource is useful for students with Dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies. We'd like to hear about your experience with our resources. Just give it a star rating then tell us what you think, simple as that!

The number 1 plays an integral role in mathematics. Students should be able to discuss 1 as an exponent, 1 as a coefficient, 1 in terms of rational expressions, one as the identity element for multiplication, and various other aspects of one as their mathematical background allows. Students with more advanced mathematical backs=grounds can even discuss the Pythagoreans identity. Check back every day to download all twelve days of Christmas Mathematics activities. This resource is also good for children with dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies.

The number 1 serves several vital roles in mathematics. It is the identity element for multiplication. Creating fractions equivalent to one is another important concept for students to understand.

For day six younger mathematicians will be looking at multiple representations for the number 6. Facilitation notes and suggestions for differentiation are provided. This activity is also good for students with dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies.

The number four is the next number for the 12 Days of Christmas. For secondary students a brief introduction to and investigation of 4th degree polynomials will be shared. An investigation that is adaptable for students with varying prior mathematical experiences is given. Student recording pages provided.

The number three is the next number for the 12 Days of Christmas. Students from kindergarten through high school work with the number three in one of the most representative of formats – the triangle. The focus for today is triangular numbers. Triangular numbers are polygonal numbers where the number of vertexes in a figure formed by a certain polygon is three.

The number four is the next number for the 12 Days of Christmas. Beginning and younger mathematicians need many opportunities to communicate about the mathematics they are studying. Writing is often one challenge for younger mathematicians as well as developing problem solving skills. There are several tasks to choose from based upon the individual needs of your students. Task cards have been provided to facilitate differentiation and multiple uses.

Day seven provides an opportunity for secondary students to look at one of the classic problems in mathematics: The Seven Bridges of Königsberg. This activity is also good for students with dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies. Please leave a review of this activity.

For the seventh day students will be investigating patterns. If you think this activity is too challenging for your students to do with paper and pencil, they can use a calculator as a tool of investigation. Or head over to the K3 activity and check it out – it is all about calendar math. Students will investigate patterns that occur when dividing by 7. The investigation is framed in working with fractions whose denominators are 7. Most people are familiar with the patterns formed by dividing by 9 but have not had much experience with the dividing by 7. This activity is also good for students with dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies. Please leave a review.

Day 7 provides the opportunity for younger mathematicians to investigate patterns on the calendar. There are a series of tasks that can be posed. The current December 2015 calendar is used but this activity can be easily adapted for any calendar month. There is also a place for the children to create their own riddles that can be saved and used later for centers and learning stations. This activity is also good for students with dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies. Please review the activity.

Triangular numbers are polygonal numbers where the number of vertexes in a figure formed by a certain polygon is three.

Day six is the perfect day for secondary students to investigate perfect numbers as 6 is the first perfect number. Perfect numbers are whole numbers such that when you add up all of the factors of the number that are less than the number itself, you get the number. This activity is also good for students with dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies. Please leave a review.

The number two is the next number for the 12 Days of Christmas. Students from kindergarten through high school work with the number two in various formats. Today intermediate and middle school mathematicians will be investigating multiplying by 2 and powers of two using a well-known piece of children’s literature. Work mats, recording sheets, and a Multiple Representation Frayer for middle school mathematicians are provided. Opportunities for writing, listening, and being a mathematician are given. One Grain of Rice by Demi is a great piece of children’s literature to connect to these activities. The text for this book can often be found online. It is a classic story that transcends mathematics – perfect for this time of year.
