Reindeer Logic Puzzle From @Learningmaths

I dear twitter. I dear beingness able to come across an persuasion as well as contain it inwards my course of written report the exact same day. This happened alongside a Christmas-themed logic puzzle that I ended upwards using both final calendar week as well as this week.

If you lot aren't next @LearningMaths on twitter, you lot must origin now. I hope you lot won't regret it! Here's the Christmas puzzle I found:

I tried it out alongside my math concepts students (9th graders who convey been deemed non stimulate for Algebra 1 yet.) I projected it on the SMARTboard as well as allow them operate on it using dry out erase boards.

This worked, merely my students kept quest me to shout out off all of the reindeer then they could write them inwards order. Have you lot e'er tried to recite the names of all the reindeer sloooooooowwwww plenty then that your students tin terminate write them all down? It's agency to a greater extent than hard than it sounds!

I decided to endeavour the puzzle alongside my trig students every bit well, then I typed upwards the clues on a canvas of newspaper as well as made laminated cards alongside each reindeer's shout out on it to speed upwards the process. We ended upwards doing this inwards trig yesterday. It took my trig students approximately v minutes to operate through the puzzle. This made it a overnice length to purpose every bit a starter inwards class!

Here are some pictures of my students inwards action:

Here's the instructions I typed up:

And, hither are the cards. One develop of cards is designed to impress on 1 canvas of paper.

I convey uploaded the file for this activity here. Thanks @LearningMaths for sharing an awesome Christmas activity for us to use!
