I have been teaching MATHEMATICS (11-16) since 1990. I have regularly been commended on my classroom displays and the quality of my resources as I feel this enriches the student experience.
As a self-taught graphic designer I now produce professional quality materials for our academy/academy chain across all departments including posters/banners and promotional materials. I am currently working on updating some older resources as well as developing new ones!

A set of Christmas themed Basic and Basic+ LOGIC PUZZLES
Basic uses numbers up to 20 (36 puzzles)
Basic + uses numbers up to 90 (36 puzzles)
THEY BOTH USE KNOWLEDGE OF ADDITION and SUBTRACTION
INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED PUZZLES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE
Pupils are to solve the puzzle by working out the value of each Christmas Themed Icon and use the found values to calculate the missing number.
In each set there are 6 sheets of 6 puzzles.
Each pupil could have a sheet each or they could be cut into individual puzzles or strips with 2 or 3 puzzles on each strip.
With similar puzzles I have actually laminated them as individual puzzles and used dry wipe pens for pupils to write answers on
Answers supplied

Please note
This resource is the beginnings of an idea.
It is as uploaded and as yet UNTESTED with a class.
It has been designed to make basic calculations a bit more interesting and in some of the examples a little more challenging.
Please let me know what you think of this as an idea and if it is any good and thoughts on improving it.
Any questions please contact me.
I will make more associated resources if people think it will be worthwhile.
Please REVIEW if possible

SEE MY OTHER DOMINO RELATED RESOURCES
Virtually Identical to my set of Ladybird Domino 0-0 to 10-10 resource but with Extra dominoes so that a full set of 0-0 to 12-12 would cover THE TWELVE DAYS of CHRISTMAS. So 91 Dominoes altogether.
Lots of opportunity to set differentiated tasks
IDEAS FOR USE ALSO IN PDF
You could even sing along to the domino you have or find ones that fit the song, as well as looking at all sorts of maths problems that could be weedled out of this topic.
How many birds in total?
How many men in total?
How many women in total?
Number patterns and sequences :
1 partridge on day one
1 partridge and 2 turtle doves on day 2
but thats 2 partridges and 2 turtle doves in total after 2 days …
and 5 partridges ,8 turtle doves, 9 french hens, 8 calling birds and 5 gold rings after 5 days etc etc etc
Perhaps could be used as a writing exercise in English.
OR Just use as normal dominoes
INCLUDED:
This A3 GAME BOARD
(Looks great laminated)
Play/rules involve using
SQUARE and PRIME numbers and much more

RED squares have SQUARE NUMBERS
GREEN squares have PRIME NUMBERS and have People on:child, young adult, old adult
BLUE squares have TRIANGLE NUMBERS
ORANGE squares have some ATOMIC NUMBERS
PURPLE squares have PERFECT NUMBERS
YELLOW squares have INTERNATIONAL DIRECT-DIAL CODES(country indicated by flag)

Rules for 2 different ways to play the game
Advanced 1 - Uses a SCORE CARD so the player can check off all the numbers they have landed on.
Each of these has a particular POINTS VALUE
BONUS points are awarded in certain conditions
THE POINTS TOTAL HAS THEN TO BE WORKED OUT
Advanced 2 - Uses a set of CARDS to COLLECT
(instead of the SCORE CARD)
Each of these cards have INFORMATION about that particular number and includes maths,science and fun facts
BONUS points are awarded in certain conditions
THE POINTS TOTAL HAS THEN TO BE WORKED OUT
BY COUNTING THE NUMBER OF POINTS ON EACH CARD
ALSO INCLUDED: GAME RULES, SCORE CARD, SET OF CARDS FOR EACH NUMBER (+BONUS CARDS)

SEARCH-FIND-COUNT INSECTS(1) - COUNTING + ADDITION + NUMBER BONDS + ANSWERS + CLIPART
Count the 11 different insects in the picture
I have not tried this as I am a secondary teacher but I was trying to come up with an idea for a primary college that would make counting ‘more interesting’ .
I thought that the main image may be laminated to allow pupils to use a whiteboard marker to cross off/ circle the ones they have found.
A tally chart(s) also could be used.
I have included all the insects I have drawn as individual clip-art so that you could use them for you own PowerPoints, Notebook files etc
If it a popular/useful resource, I may make a series with different topics/themes.
Please let me know what you think!
