Penguin Activities for Math Fun
First, I’d like to share some great math resources. It can be very challenging at times to get those basic math facts ingrained into students’ minds. Repeated practice is key, and the more fun a kid has while practicing, the more they will stick with it. These penguin puzzles are great fun, and with several to choose from, you can differentiate to challenge your higher students while allowing your other kiddos practice at the appropriate level as well.

But let’s not forget that penguins make GREAT bulletin boards, doorway decorations, or hallways displays during the winter!
