Description
Bring the magic of the holiday season to your math lessons with ‘Christmas Around the World Subtraction Word Problems: Differentiated Mini-Books.’ These engaging, December-themed books offer comparing word problems that develop number sense and strengthen real-world problem-solving skills.
With three differentiated levels (problems within 10, 15, and 25), every student will find a challenge that’s just right for them. Ideal for small groups, centers, or independent work, these mini-books ensure all learners can practice essential subtraction skills through festive, relatable word problems.

- Level 1 Mini-Book: Comparing Problems within 10
- Level 2 Mini-Book: Comparing Problems within 15
- Level 3 Mini-Book: Comparing Problems within 25
All 3 books are 6 half-pages and ask students to illustrate a word problem (5 word problems), write the equation, and then, write the answer to the story problem in a complete sentence.

On page 10 the first story problem says the elf made 18 toys and the second one says the elf made 8 toys. I believe both were suppose to say 8. Otherwise this was a great booklet and my students were really excited about it!
Thanks
