New Year’s Headbands Color by Code to 10 Math K-1

Description

These New Year’s color by code headbands addition and subtraction activities are a perfect way to keep your students engaged and learning right before winter break. Students solve addition and subtraction problems to 10, then use the color key to bring each headband to life. Best of all, they end up with a fun New Year’s hat to wear and celebrate!

This resource includes six unique headband designs. Themes include a New Year’s baby, a party hat, balloons, a countdown clock, fireworks, and juice glasses — so every student gets a different look. Each page features mixed addition and subtraction problems within 10, giving students great practice with basic fact fluency in a festive, hands-on format.

Here’s what you need to assemble the headbands:

• One page printed per student on cardstock
• One sentence strip per student
• Students color, cut, glue, and staple to fit

Also included are two holiday stamp sheets — one black-and-white and one color — that students can cut out and add to their sentence strip for extra decoration. Answer keys are included for every design.

This activity works great as a December morning work warm-up, an early finisher option, or a whole-class art-and-math project.

Whether you are planning a New Year’s party day or just want a meaningful math activity for the last days of December, these New Year’s color by code headbands addition and subtraction activities deliver fun and learning in one colorful package. Students in kindergarten and first grade will love wearing their finished headbands home.
