Holiday Math


 * Presents in the Snow Follow either the addition or subtraction sequence to collect all the presents. The next present will always be adjacent to the previous one. Different levels extend this game into harder sequences or include negative numbers.
 * Santa Addition Perform quick mental addition to help Santa and Rudolph. Includes a fun reward game after 10 correct calculations. There are 4 different levels.
 * Snowflake Subtraction Different levels of subtraction skills can be practiced to stop the snowflakes falling on Santa and his sleigh.
 * Help the Elf! Set the angle and power to fling the elf. The challenge? Catch the present AND land in the sack.
