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 creeping up on us and the kids are getting more and more excited! I love to give kids Halloween themed activities and I also love to give them activities that make them think! That's why I created these Halloween word puzzles!       There are two printable Halloween word puzzles that will make them think! The first one is a Halloween Word Search with a difference. After the children have found the Halloween words in the word search, they find the answer to the Halloween riddle by using the letters that are left in the word search.   The second Halloween word puzzle has listed the people who are coming to the Halloween party but the vowels have been left out of the words. The puzzle is to work out the names on the list.   You can download these puzzles at www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Halloween-Literacy-Puzzles-Freebie-916326   Hope the kids enjoy the puzzles!   If you want more Halloween literacy puzzles then make sure you ...
