This resource is 92 pages of incredible printables for Montessori preschool and elementary classrooms.

Montessori-inspired Chinese New Year Math Activities

Before moving forward with our activities I wanted to mention that we have chosen to use the term Chinese New Year because these activities specifically focus on how the holiday is celebrated in Chinese culture.

The activities do not include a focus on other Lunar New Year celebrations around the world, especially those that do not take place on the same day.
