It’s getting to be spring time, and you may have noticed that your students are getting the “Spring Crazies.” I have found that in the spring time, I need to plan extra engaging lessons for my students. I like to do that with fun easter math worksheets and activities. That is why I’m sharing 6 easter math worksheets and activities that 1st and 2nd grade students love. 

When it comes to math, students need a good foundation in knowing their basic math facts. It can be tricky to get every student to math fact fluency. But it is possible and so worth it! 

So I have something special for you. 

I have a free workbook for 1st and 2nd grade teachers: The 7 Steps to Ensure Math Fact Fluency. Download your free copy here.

Okay, let’s get started on the 6 Easter Math Activities I use in my classroom.

 

Easter Math Craft

I love doing math crafts with my students because they easily engage students. They enjoy working with their hands and creating things. And with the spring crazies going on, this is what me and my students need.

This easter egg math craft has students complete different math problems on easter eggs. Then they glue them on a circle to make the cutest little easter egg wreath. These are great for decorating your classroom or hallway.

The best part about this resource is that you can easily differentiate students’ needs. There are four different versions that consist of math facts 1-10, math facts 1-20, 2-digit addition, and 2-digit subtraction.

Easter Math Boom Cards

Next, we have Easter Math Boom Cards. These help students get online practice with math facts. 

The bunny clipart helps make these math fact problems feel festive for students.

Boom cards are great because they are self grading. That means students get immediate feedback and teachers don’t have to grade!

Feed the Cat

I love Feed the Cat and so do my students! It’s engaging for them and low prep for me. It makes a great review or independent practice activity.

For this activity, you need to print off a bunch of little pages with easter egg clipart. Then write different math problems on the board. Have students solve the math problems on the board on the easter egg pages.

Then set out a cat bin. I bought this cat bin from Walmart, but you could also use any bin in your classroom and just tape on a picture of a cat head onto it.

After students finish a math problem, they get to use it to “feed” the cat. They get up and put there paper in the cat bin.

If you want easter eggs with the problems already on it, the easter eggs from the Easter Math Craft will work great. Find it here.

 

Math Facts Don’t Eat Pete

Don’t Eat Pete is a fun, yet simple game for students. Best part about it, you just need to print it out for it to be ready for students.

Students take turns choosing a square to be “Pete.” One student steps away while the rest of the group chooses.

Then they come back and pick candy off of each square while saying the answer to the math facts.

When they go to pick up “Pete”, the group shouts “Don’t Eat Pete!”

Then they start again with another player.

Easter Math Worksheets

These first Easter math worksheets are I Spy Math Facts Worksheets. On the page are an assortment of different easter and spring clipart. Hidden within those are different math fact equations. 

For each worksheet, students have to find certain math facts, for example, facts that make 10. Students highlight all the equations that equal 10. 

For equations that don’t equal 10, students write them on a recording sheet along with the answer, so they get lots of practice with math facts.

Since students are searching for equations, it makes it fun and engaging for them. Find these Easter themed I Spy Math Facts Worksheets here.

 

Math Fact Riddles

These have got to be one of my students’ favorite math fact activities! Students fill out the answers to math facts and then use the key to find the hidden fact.

Each page and fact has a piece of clipart that shows what the fact will be about. This really intrigues students and peaks their interest.

I can easily set these out as a centers activity, a whole group activity, or a fast finisher activity. 

I always have students asking if I have more math fact riddles they can take home. I’ve created spring themed math fact riddles. Find them here.

 

I hope you have been able to get plenty of ideas on how to engage your students with fun easter math activities for this time of year.

I have found during this crazy spring time, students need a little change up with classroom schedule. They need more engagement. That’s why I also love to introduce new math fact games to my students. Learn about the math fact games we play in this blog post: The Best 9 Games for Practicing Math Facts
