Engage your students in a fun and interactive way with this Math Pixel Art Activity! Perfect for reinforcing decimal operations, this activity challenges students to practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals to reveal a hidden pixel art picture with a HAPPY NEW YEAR theme. 19 Problems Total. NO NEGATIVE ANSWERS.

How it works:

• Students will solve a series of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimal problems, each corresponding to a color or section of a pixelated image.
• As they evaluate the expressions correctly, they "fill in" the picture, pixel by pixel, revealing a fun design at the end.
• The more problems they solve, the clearer the image becomes, providing instant feedback and a sense of accomplishment!

Why it's great for the classroom:

• Engaging & Interactive: Keeps students focused while practicing essential math skills.
