Halloween Math Teaching Resources
Welcome to my Halloween Math Teaching Resources page. On this page, you will find unique math lesson plans and activities for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, word problems, and powerpoint lessons.
I have not taught math in many years, so I had to challenge myself to come up with some Halloween math activities to share with you. I hope that you find the math Halloween teaching resources on this page unique and that your students will be engaged, instead of bored by traditional drill and practice math worksheets.
If you have any ideas for October or Halloween math teaching resources and activities that you would like to share with the teachers viewing this website, please use my contact page to let me know your ideas and suggestions.
Monster Math Activity Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
Click on the BUY NOW button below to purchase this downloadable teacher resource: Monster Math (Where The Wild Things Are) Set
$2.50
This Monster Math Activity can be used any time of the year, but it is especially fun to do with students at Halloween. I like to do this with my students after I have read aloud the book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, but you do not need to read this book to use this monster math activity with your students.
For this activity, students write mathematical equations to describe their monster in a group activity (eyes = 8 - 5 = 3; arms = 24/6 = 4). After students have completed the group activity, they work on their own. They design and draw their own monster and then use mathematical equations to describe what the monster looks like. If you are using this as a collaborative Math/English assignment, I have provided a worksheet for students to then write a story about their monster.
This unique Halloween Monster Math Set includes 15 worksheets and two different bulletin board display banners for you to choose from.
a color picture of the first monster for the whole class activity
7 different colored monster worksheets for the group activity
color and black and white worksheets for the individual student activity
color and black and white worksheets for students to write their monster stories on

Animated Math Powerpoint Lesson Activities
Since it is difficult to describe each of my Halloween Math powerpoint presentations in words, I have made a video of each presentation for you to watch. These videos will give you an idea of what each lesson contains, as well as helpful tips for you if you use one of these math powerpoint lessons with your students. I hope that you find these videos helpful, but please be aware that I am an extreme novice at making videos!
Many students find traditional math exercises boring and dull. I encourage you to use powerpoint presentations to bring life to these boring exercises. I have designed my power point presentations and lesson plans to be engaging to your students.
The power point presentations on this page are all based on the theme of Halloween. These engaging powerpoint lessons have been designed using two standard fonts: Arial Black and Comic Sans. I chose these fonts because they are the most widely found on most computers, and they will not change the style and format when viewed on your classroom computer. I use graphic animations and powerpoint animations when I am designing my powerpoints, and I try to locate colorful background templates for the presentations that I prepare.
