Need a fun activity the week before winter break, but don't want to totally have kids turn off their brains? I like to show the movie Elf (PG) and give my students these guided notes, which include math problems aligned to the plot. The problems are related to ratios, geometry, general arithmetic, speed, and unit rates. The problem set has time guidelines so students can keep track of when the problems will come up in the movie. The movie can be rented on Amazon prime for less than $5.
