Secondary Math Halloween Resource Round Up!

Halloween Resource Round Up:

I feel like holidays should be taken advantage of in the classroom. It doesn’t matter how old your students are – they are bound to be (at least a little!) excited about upcoming holidays.

One way to capitalize on that excitement is to incorporate those holidays into the classroom using fun activities. Below is a round up of some secondary math Halloween themed activities I found on Teachers pay Teachers. They all look like a lot of fun!

Freebies:

1)Order of Operations Pumpkin Smash

(shameless promotion – I created this PowerPoint game!)

There are 8 pumpkin in the PowerPoint. When a pumpkin is touched, it’ll show an order of operations question for students to solve.

2) Graphing Task Cards

Scaffolded Math and Science created a super neat way for students to review identifying points on a coordinate plane. The task cards have a fun, spider web border, and the graph is full of fun Halloween clip art.

3) Jack o Lantern Fraction Freebie

Found at Activities By Jill is a fun riddle sheet. It has students find the answer to a riddle by performing basic fraction operations. Even if you aren’t working on fraction operations this month – this may be a sheet you can use. Fraction operations have never been a topic I was supposed to cover, but one I’ve found necessary to review every year with students. 

4) Halloween Clip Art

Juice up your normal warm up/exit tickets with fun Halloween themed clip art by one of my favorite clip artists – Krista Walden.

7) Variable Substitution Scavenger Hunt

Mathtechy has a super cute, Halloween themed QR code scavenger hunt on evaluating expressions for a given value. There are 9 stations. Each station has a question card which has a ghost on it. Students scan the QR code inside the ghost. This scavenger hunt would be a fun way to help students use up some of their energy!
