How many gifts will your true love end up with?
How many legs are mentioned in the song?
What's it all about anyway?
Whatever the question, 'The 12 Days of Christmas' is a fascinating song to investigate. So much so, that we've prepared a downloadable PDF for you to use with your class. We particularly recommend the 'How many gifts?' question which has possibly the best answer to a maths investigation ever! We've also made a simple presentation of the song (no sound, sorry!),
which you can use to start their investigations off with.
