Easter Egg Activities and Math Fun
I’d like to start off with some great math resources. Every elementary teacher knows how hard it can be to get those basic math facts ingrained into the minds of their students. But these charming Easter Egg puzzles will have your students actually excited about doing math! And with four to choose from, covering the basic math skills, you can challenge your more advanced students while making sure the rest of your students can practice at their appropriate level as well.
Various math Easter Egg activities are available below. Click on the one/s that are most appropriate for your students. Each puzzle includes two options – the harder ones pictured below and an easier option as well. Choose which to use or use both to differentiate among your students!

Also Great for Decor!
I’m sure you can imagine how adorable these Easter Egg Puzzles would look in your classroom, especially when combined with some of my Bunny puzzles, too. They make GREAT bulletin boards, doorway decorations, or even hallways displays! Your students can cut them out, complete their puzzles, and then decorate them in whatever colors and patterns they want on their eggs. The finished displays are a wonderful way to welcome Spring and celebrate the Easter season.
