Halloween Math Fun!

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! There are friends for 2 digit numbers to 5 digit numbers for each of the 6 characters. They come in both color and black and white for the children to color their own!

These are available at https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Halloween-Math-2164099

Want more Halloween Math Fun?

Check out this simple Halloween Math Puzzle that I made -

This one is sure to get kids thinking! They have to create an addition equation from the numbers in each ghost. With the first one 1, 2, 4, 9 and 3 you could make 32+9=41.

Make your own by drawing several ghost shapes on a large sheet of paper then write the digits for an equation in each. You can choose equations that are as simple or as complex as you like.

 

It also works for subtraction, multiplication or division equations.

Halloween Math Fun!

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 show you a few games from each set.

 

These games are from Halloween Math Games First Grade.

The Count Dracula Board Game has children count their way around the board.

In Halloween Spooky Pairs Add to 10, the players take turns to color a pair of adjoining numbers that add to 10. The last player to color a pair is the winner.
