Cue the lights, don the ugliest sweater you can find, and take a load off on the couch with a cup of cocoa and a bad made-for-tv movie. You deserve it.   We know this holiday season will look a little different this year, so we put together some fun end-of-the-year activities that will help you and your kids stay safe and engaged with math during the break.  Whether you're participating in our Winter Break Challenge, using one of our many free coloring sheets, or interacting with a STEAM activity from our [Winter STEAM Activity](https://www.pinterest.com/jijimath/winter-steam-activities-for-the-classroom/) and [Christmas STEAM Activity](https://www.pinterest.com/jijimath/christmas-steam-activities-for-the-classroom/) Pinterest boards, students have tons of options to keep learning while enjoying the holidays at home.  ![pexels-daria-shevtsova-1261408-1](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hs-fs/hubfs/pexels-daria-shevtsova-1261408-1.jpg?width=5760&name=pexels-daria-shevtsova-1261408-1.jpg) Join the ST Math Winter Break Challenge Students using ST Math at home during winter break can join in the Winter Break Challenge. This challenge asks students to mark their progress and track their minutes every time they use ST Math. We offer various [tracking resources](https://help.stmath.com/hc/en-us/sections/360008845873-Printables) on our website, or you can download the free usage calendar below. The ST Math Usage Calendar is an excellent tool for students to visualize their accomplishments and take ownership of their learning journey. We encourage students to share their goals with family at the beginning of the break and work together on a plan to achieve them. ![075_stmath_usage_calendar_fillable](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hs-fs/hubfs/075_stmath_usage_calendar_fillable.jpg?width=496&name=075_stmath_usage_calendar_fillable.jpg) Download the ST Math Usage Calendar | [English (PDF)](https://play.stmath.com/raft/resources/help/01/075_stmath_usage_calendar.pdf)|[Spanish (PDF)](https://play.stmath.com/raft/resources/help/01/076_stmath_usage_calendar_esp_fillable.pdf)   Happy Holidays Coloring Page   We have a new coloring sheet to kick off the winter season! We've left one gingerbread cookie blank so you can color it in as yourself or someone you admire. After your masterpiece is finished, fill in the writing prompt with your very own holiday word problem. Here's an example to help get you started:    > JiJi is warming up at the hot chocolate bar. If JiJi is buying a hot chocolate for $2.95 with a candy cane for $0.65, whip cream for $0.35 and chocolate chips for $0.15, how much will JiJi spend at the hot chocolate bar?
