This website displays a countdown to Christmas Day telling the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds until the big day. This would be great to have as a display on the IWB in the classroom and would surely excite the pupils. However, it would also be remiss of the teacher to neglect to exploit the opportunity to use this resource to teach the measures strand of the mathematics curriculum, especially the element of time.

Christmas-themed quiz consisting of eight rounds of six questions, tie-breaker round and answers to all questions on 109 Powerpoint slides, suitable for IWB in the classroom or in the school hall.
