5 Winter Math Activities for Middle School

Want to get festive in your classroom while also being inclusive? These winter math activities are for you! I understand that not all my students celebrate Christmas so my activities are mostly snow related (with the exception of the Christmas wrapping paper featured in the similar figures activity).

5. Christmas Math Activity The Skill: Surface Area of Rectangular Prisms

Students will practice finding the surface area of twelve 3D figures including rectangular prisms and cylinders. The best part? The rectangular prisms are gift-wrapped in wrapping paper! One of my favorite hands-on ways to help students understand the concept of surface area.
