This set includes a total of 24 fun, funny, engaging, educational and effective Christmas-themed problems.

Your students will require the ability to add and subtract 3 digit numbers and to perform simple single digit multiplication (6 x 4) to solve them. A variety of problem types are included on each page and unnecessary numbers are in many of the problems, so students will really have to read and think about each situation.
Each worksheet page contains the following:
Christmas themed story problems involving Santa, elves, reindeer or children.
A mix of addition problems, subtraction and single digit multiplication problems.
Cute clipart related to the problems.
