Maths Advent Calendar: 24 daily puzzles for 1 to 24 December
A maths Advent calendar with one original puzzle for each day from 1 to 24 December, plus a 24-door calendar page and a full checker-verified answer key. English only. The puzzles get gradually harder, from Year 2 arithmetic to two-step problems and unique-number puzzles. Not copied from a textbook or an exam-board paper.
Who it is for: Year 2–4 (ages 6–9) — one daily puzzle in December, or a starter, morning work or early-finisher task.
What’s included: a 10-page A4 PDF (9 worksheet, notes and answer-key pages, plus a Lesson Planned licence page) with the 24-door calendar page, 24 daily puzzles, and a full answer key.
Time to teach: about 5–10 minutes for one daily puzzle. Print A4 at actual size / 100%.
How answers were checked: every puzzle is stored with the numbers used to compute it. A checker recomputes each answer from those numbers and checks that the printed answer-key text matches (24/24). Unique-number puzzles are re-filtered so only one number in the stated range fits.
Wording: this is independent classroom maths practice. It is not a SATs paper.
