Halloween is a great opportunity to have some fun in math while the children still do worthwhile activities!   Halloween and math make a great partnership! I doubt that there is any other theme that will motivate as much a Halloween will!         There are loads of simple games and ideas that you can use that will combine math and Halloween! These simple Tic Tac Toe games are soooooo easy to create! You just need some plastic spiders or bats and a grid drawn on paper!        These math challenges are easy to create too! We used the poster above for 2 different activities. 1. Find as many combinations of 2 or 3 numbers that add to 31 (for October 31 of course)! 2. Find sets of 3 numbers where 2 of the numbers add to the third number! Find as many as possible for each! Winner is the person with the most! Our winners received a plastic spider! :)            These are our Halloween Math Place Value Friends...

Halloween is a fantastic motivator for getting kids to write! That's why I have created a few things that you can use to get kids enthusiastic about writing this Halloween.               They can write spooky stories, recipes for witch's brews, safety hints for trick or treating, list ideas for Halloween parties or even facts and opinions about Halloween! Sometimes all they need is a sentence starter to get their imaginations firing!  Halloween Writing Quilt If you would like to get kids writing and creating an interesting display of their writing, then you will love the Halloween Writing Quilt Squares. Their are 7 quilt squares to choose from and can you use them all or use just one. The children do the writing activity on the sheet then color the small quilt squares. They then cut out the large square and these can be displayed with their classmates' squares to make a large Halloween Quilt display with their writing and ...

Halloween can be one of the greatest motivators in the classroom!

This Halloween Word Search and Riddle puzzle is much more than just a word search. After children have solved the word search they are rewarded with a Halloween riddle but they will have to work out the...

Halloween is a great topic to use to motivate kids in math! Adding a little bit of Halloween to your math means adding loads and loads of fun too! Halloween Fractions Here is a really simple way to have some fun with fractions at Halloween. Brainstorm a list of Halloween words then calculate the fraction of consonants and vowels. This is a great activity for developing the concept of fractions. Playing games is also a great way to incorporate Halloween into Math time. That's why I have created 4 new sets of Halloween Math Games for grades 1 to 4. Halloween Math Games Grade by Grade These sets allow students to practise and review basic math concepts for their grade while they have so much fun that they don't even realize that they are actually learning! Each set contains 14 printable Halloween Games. The games are a mix of board games and No Prep game sheets for 2 players. These games are ideal for Halloween math centers, fast finishers or even Halloween homework. Let me sho...
