Thanksgiving Math Turkey Craft | Fact Fluency Activity & Bulletin Board

Description

Make math practice festive this November with a Thanksgiving turkey math craft! Students build their own turkeys with feathers that show math facts, practicing fact fluency as they create. When the turkeys are finished, they turn into a colorful “Gobbling Up Math” bulletin board that celebrates student learning.

Choose addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division feathers to match the skills your students are working on. Each turkey comes in a print-and-go option and a cut-and-paste option, so you can pick the version that fits your time and your class.
