create a project for students to complete at home over the winter break with their parents about multiplication and division problmes

Description

This winter break project teaches students how to apply multiplication and division to real-life situations. The objective is for students to learn to solve and create word problems based on everyday activities, allowing them to see the relevance of math outside the classroom. Families are encouraged to engage by identifying 'math moments' during the holidays—such as dividing baked goods or counting decorations. The project includes worked examples, warm-up challenges, and creative prompts for students to generate their own problems based on winter themes. Interactive elements like a family math game reinforce the concepts, making learning both fun and practical.
