On this page, you will find unique Monster Math lesson plans that are based on the book
Where The Wild Things Are. This is a great book to read to your students near Halloween.
Review word problems that involve addition and subtraction using the fun and engaging
Halloween math powerpoint lessons that are found on this page.
At the beginning of math class, provide your students with a fun warm up activity during the 5
days prior to Halloween. These fun animated Halloween math puzzles will engage your students
in solving tricky addition and subtraction equations using a fun puzzle format.
I hope that these three Halloween math lesson plans will provide you with some ideas for
some fun math activities that you can complete with your students during the month
of October.



This fun Monster Math activity can be used any time of the year,
but it is especially fun to do with students near Halloween time.
I usually complete this activity 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.
Students design and draw their own monster and then use mathematical
equations to describe what their monster looks like.
If you are using this as a collaborative Math and English assignment, I have provided a
worksheet for students to then write a story about their monster (shown below).
This unique Halloween Monster Math set of teaching resources includes 15 worksheets and
2 bulletin board display banners for you to choose from.
This set of Halloween math teaching resources includes the following components:
a color picture of the first monster for the whole class activity





For this Halloween math powerpoint lesson, students have to solve
addition and subtraction word problems.
There are 10 sets of question and answer slides in this powerpoint lesson,
as well as a student response worksheet (shown below) for students to work out their answers on.
Your students will love reviewing addition and subtraction
word problems using this engaging and animated Halloween math activity!

Thank you for all that you do! You are helping all of us to become better educators!
I just wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU for the free downloads that are included in your newsletter Teachers Have Class each month, I look forward to receiving every single issue. I absolutely love your products and what you do. I am so excited to use your resources through my teaching journey. Keep up the awesome work. Happy Holidays!
Your lesson plans for Stellaluna, Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas have saved me so much planning time this year. My Gr. 3 students really enjoyed completing the projects that you designed for each of these books. I was able to create great Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas displays in my classroom this year with their projects. Thanks for sharing your ideas and for saving me time.
My students loved your seasonal powerpoint games for Halloween and Thanksgiving. They thought they were playing a game instead of reviewing grammar ;-) I've already purchased all of your other holiday powerpoint lesson plans. Keep making more of these great activities, more POWER to you Heidi!
I just wanted to say thank you for the most amazing teaching resources that I have ever come across in my thirty years of teaching. I have used many of your book report sets this year and my students absolutely loved them. What was particularly pleasing was seeing some of my reluctant readers (especially the boys) really wanting to read books and complete the activities. Keep up the great work!
I feel so fortunate to have found your website and I have referred several of my co-workers to your website. Just for the month of January, there were three teachers displaying your book reports. I had the trophy reports, my neighbor to the left had the computer reports, and my neighbor to the right had the birthday cake reports. Thank you so very much for all of your work!
I'm writing to tell you that my students just finished the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory group projects. They worked so hard, and the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory projects turned out great! We had them to show for student led conferences. The parents were very impressed, and so were many of the other teachers and my principal. They all commented on my students' work and your creative templates. My students had so much fun doing these projects. I also used the multiplication pizza sticker charts. My students loved those as well!! Thank you so much for all of your amazing products.
I want to write and tell you that I love the resources that you make and share with us, they have truly been helpful to me and my students. I have been teaching grammar rules in a more exciting way, and I owe it all to you. Your grammar powerpoint lessons have been such a blessing! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for letting me know about the new book report templates. I have been anxiously watching for the house book report project to be posted on your site, so I was excited to be able to purchase it today. It is absolutely adorable. I must tell you that I have received so many compliments from other teachers this year about my students' book reports that I have displayed in our school halls. Thank you again for all of your wonderful ideas....you make my life so much easier as a teacher!
My students are working on their Charlie and Chocolate Factory projects that I bought on your website. One of my students said how nice the other character wheels were and he said, "Besides this is just fun!" Not bad for a third grade boy!!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for your wonderful site and the excellent resources that you provide at such reasonable prices. I purchased and used your lesson plans for the The Giving Tree with my students, and it was a blast. Thanks again!
Simply stated, I LOVE YOUR BOOK REPORT SETS!!!!!!! I'm interested in purchasing them ALL!!!! I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. My students are so excited about reading this year, and it is all because of your fun projects!
I am in awe of what you have accomplished and created for those of us teaching in the public sector. Good for you for taking time off and self publishing. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your generosity is amazing. I recently provided a reading in-service for the K-5 staff at my school. I listed your website as a "must" to visit.
Thanks you for your expertise, creativity, and heartfelt enthusiasm. You are an inspiration to new and veteran teachers and a model for those of us who have not had the guts to go out on our own. You did it!!! I suggest that you go on the speaking circuit and share your knowledge and creativity at the International Reading Association Meetings and the State Reading Associations.
