Questions and answers

When is Thanksgiving in 2026?

In the United States it is Thursday, November 26, 2026, and November 25 in 2027. The holiday is the fourth Thursday of November, so it always falls between November 22 and November 28.

Which grades are these Thanksgiving math worksheets for?

Kindergarten to grade 5. Sums stay within 10 for kindergarten, 20 for grade 1 and 100 for grade 2. Grade 3 multiplies and divides within 100, grade 4 meets remainders and 2-digit factors, and grade 5 multiplies and divides by 2-digit numbers.

How many eggs does a wild turkey lay?

A wild turkey hen lays a clutch of 10 to 14 eggs and sits on them for at least 28 days. The grade 3 fact sheet uses twelve eggs to a clutch, so 5 hens make 60 eggs.

Kindergarten 3

Count leaves and apples: how many in all? 3 leaves and 4 apples make 7 in all. Pupils touch each picture once as they count, then write the total.
Thanksgiving addition stories within 10 4 pumpkin pies and 3 apple pies are 7 pies. Read each story aloud and let pupils draw circles for the pies before they count.
Thanksgiving subtraction stories within 10 A paper turkey has 8 tail feathers and 3 are colored in, so 5 still need color. Ten counters and a cup act it out.

Grade 1 3

Grade 2 2

Food drive addition stories within 100 27 cans in week one and 35 in week two make 62 cans. Most sums regroup, so have pupils add the ones first.
Pie sale subtraction stories within 100 A bakery made 84 pies and sold 37, so 47 are left. Check by adding back: 47 + 37 = 84.

Grade 3 5

Food bank subtraction within 1,000 A food bank packed 720 boxes and handed out 385, so 335 are left. Subtracting across a zero is the step to watch.
School food drive addition within 1,000 Grade three brought 268 cans and grade four brought 175, which is 443 cans. Estimate first: about 270 + 180 = 450.
Sharing the feast: division stories within 100 24 dinner rolls shared by 6 people is 4 rolls each. The check is multiplication: 6 × 4 = 24.
Thanksgiving multiplication stories: tables and trays 6 tables with 8 plates on each need 48 plates. Pupils can sketch the tables as boxes and skip count by 8.
Turkey and table facts to multiply One pumpkin pie recipe uses two eggs, so 7 pies use 14 eggs. The fixed number is written as a word, so pupils must find it in the story.

Grade 4 4

Packing day division: divide by 1 digit 96 cans packed equally into 6 boxes is 16 cans a box. Split 96 into 60 and 36, then divide each part by 6.
School kitchen multiplication: 2 digits by 1 digit 7 trays of stuffing with 24 scoops each is 168 scoops. Break 24 apart: 7 × 20 = 140 and 7 × 4 = 28.
Seats, bags and pies: what happens to the remainder? 50 guests at tables of 8 need 7 tables, not 6, because 50 ÷ 8 = 6 R 2 and the last 2 guests still sit down.
Times as many: Thanksgiving comparison stories Ana peeled 6 potatoes and her uncle peeled 4 times as many, which is 24. A bar model shows one bar of 6 and four bars of 6.

Grade 5 2

Community dinner division: divide by 2 digits A food bank with 384 cans and 16 cans to a box fills 24 boxes. Estimate first: 400 ÷ 20 = 20, so the answer is a little more.
Community dinner multiplication: 2 digits by 2 digits 24 rows of 18 chairs is 432 chairs. Two partial products, 24 × 10 = 240 and 24 × 8 = 192, add to the answer.
