With winter holidays drawing near, our math tutors have prepared some fun and useful math worksheets that students can enjoy during celebrations.
Parents can find online printable worksheets for math students that enjoy drawing or coloring for practicing combined operations.
We selected a series of Christmas-themed worksheets for math practice: word problems and exercises inspired by our Math Symbols and Their Meanings series.
Let’s Decorate The Christmas Tree:
- There are 21-holiday cards above the chimney. 5 are Hanukkah cards. The rest are Christmas cards. What fraction of the cards above the chimney are Christmas cards?

A = 2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12. Wrong number:
B = 1, 4, 9, 16, 24. Wrong number:
C = 3, 9, 19, 32 Wrong number:
- Which number is missing in the following series:
S1 = 32, 40, 24, 16, 24, …
A) 60 B) 12 C) 18 D) 8
S2= 1, 2, 6, 24, …
A) 32 B) 64 C) 144 D) 120
S3 = …, 12, 18, 10, 6, 14, 5, 0, 10.
A) 14 B) 15 C) 16 D) 88
- Solve the following combined operations:
- 5 + 7 × 8 – 3 =
- (5 + 7) x (8-3) =
- 3² – 2³x2 + 4 × 3-8 =
- 14 ÷ 2 + 15 × 2 – 3³ =
- 1 + 6 × 3 – 46 ÷ 2 + 4² ÷ 2 =
Practice the following easy math challenges with your colleagues or family members in order to test who can find the solution quicker.
Christmas Math Challenges
