A collection of Christmas colouring and drawing activities for the last days of term:

• KS3/GCSE
• A Level Maths and Further Maths

Further Christmas resources are available on this page.

KS3/GCSE

On TES, a collection of Pixel Art activities is available from TomTeaches. We have GCSE revision on solving quadratics and several other resources including Indices, Linear equations which you can find from this search.

---

For some interactive Christmas colouring try this activity on Transum where students colour in the Christmas picture according to the properties of the numbers.

---

From Amanda Austin on Dr Austin Maths, the activity “Plotting Quadratic Graphs Create-a-Picture” is a great task for plotting quadratic graphs.

A Level

I have used many of Tom Bennison’s resources, including his Christmas colouring for A Level students – these make perfect Christmas activities for older students. For more cards have a look at Tom’s Christmas themed resources. Note he has also created Further Maths Calculated Colouring resources.

---

A Level Christmas Colouring is a TES resource where students revise much of the Year 1 content and some Year 2 content.

---

Or for Further Maths, try FP1, a TES resource. The questions are appropriate for Core Maths. You have a choice of versions, Normal – colours are what you would expect, Funk Christmas – colours are all mixed up!

It’s December! So many mathsy doors to open!
See my Advent Calendar collection which is kept updated.
(See also Christmas Maths Resources)

Now it’s December – you can open Transum door 1 to reveal this gem!

I do like this Dec 1st Transum activity. Use the given palette to make sure that all the trees are decorated differently – brilliant for thinking about systematic listing strategies. Note the different levels available.

Look at the collections on Nrich on Working Systematically.

• Working Systematically
• Finding all solutions
• Working Systematically – Lower Secondary

Staying with Nrich…

Nrich publishes annual Advent Calendars – one for Primary (2024)  and one for Secondary (2024). Both feature twenty-four problems, one for each day in the run-up to Christmas. Nrich states that the problems are ideal for working on collaboratively, either with friends at school, or with friends and family members at home. A real strength of Nrich – solutions are published which are based on students’ work.

From Matthew Scroggs, Christmas 2024 is coming. Matthew’s Advent Calendar 2024.

It’s nearly Christmas and something terrible has happened: there’s been a major malfunction in multiple machines in Santa’s toy factory, and not enough presents have been made. Santa has a backup warehouse full of wrapped presents that can be used in the case of severe emergency, but the warehouse is locked. You need to help Santa work out the code to unlock the warehouse so that he can deliver the presents before Christmas is ruined for everyone.
