About these thanksgiving math worksheets

These Thanksgiving math worksheets put every holiday math page on the site in one place, grouped by grade. Preschoolers count turkey feathers, finish patterns and color by number. Kindergartners count, add and take away. 1st and 2nd graders solve turkey word problems, add and subtract with regrouping and read graphs of favorite foods.

From 3rd grade up the pages get harder: multiplication and division stories, a Thanksgiving color by number multiplication page (a turkey with facts to 9 × 9 in 3rd grade and a pumpkin with 2-digit by 1-digit products in 4th), elapsed time on a cooking schedule, area and perimeter, recipe fractions, line plots, multi-digit and decimal money problems, the volume of food boxes and a coordinate grid mystery turkey. Every page practices a real grade skill, prints in black and white on US Letter or A4, and has an answer key at the end of the PDF. For reading and writing pages too, see Thanksgiving Worksheets.

Standards

  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.MD.B.4Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions by using information presented in line plots. For example, from a line plot find and interpret the difference in length between the longest and shortest specimens in an insect collection.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.B.4Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.B.5Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.B.4.CSolve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, if each person at a party will eat 3/8 of a pound of roast beef, and there will be 5 people at the party, how many pounds of roast beef will be needed? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.OA.A.3Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.G.A.2Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.MD.B.2Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots. For example, given different measurements of liquid in identical beakers, find the amount of liquid each beaker would contain if the total amount in all the beakers were redistributed equally.

How to use them

  1. Find your child's grade below and pick one page a day in the two weeks before Thanksgiving.
  2. Use the color by number pages as a calm, self-checking activity: the picture shows whether the facts were right.
  3. Let children work a word problem out loud with a partner before they write the number sentence.
  4. For a mixed-age group or a family table, give each child the page for their own grade and solve them together.

Teaching tips

  • If a page is too hard, use the same skill from the grade below; the themes match across grades.
  • On word problems, ask "What do I know? What do I need to find?" before any calculation.
  • On the multiplication color by number pages, children can check each row: a wrong product shows up as an odd color in the picture.
  • Families celebrate in many ways. The pages are about food, the harvest and being thankful, so they work as fall math too.

Questions teachers and parents ask

Which grades do these Thanksgiving math worksheets cover?

Preschool through 5th grade. Each grade has its own group, and every page practices a skill from that grade.

Is there a Thanksgiving color by number multiplication page?

Yes. 3rd grade colors a turkey by solving multiplication facts to 9 × 9, and 4th grade colors a pumpkin by multiplying 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers, such as 24 × 6. The answer key shows the finished picture.

Do the math pages have answer keys?

Yes. Every math page has an answer key at the end of the same PDF.

Are the word problems realistic?

Yes. The stories use sensible numbers for the setting, such as a few pies at a bake sale, thousands of cans at a food bank and a family's grocery bill in dollars and cents.
