What Are These Christmas Logic Puzzles & Balance Beams?
These are logic-style puzzles with Christmas theming. Each puzzle displays a balanced equation-style setup where students figure out unknown values so both sides balance. With holiday graphics—like ornaments, gifts, wreaths, or candy canes—the puzzles feel playful, seasonal, and far more exciting than regular worksheets.
They offer reasoning challenges, letting students use their math fact knowledge, think through possibilities, and deduce missing numbers. These puzzles bring fluency practice alive with festive visuals and logical thinking.
