Hi Manoj,
Halloween is not really something we make a big deal of at my house (but I do love candy corn, so I'll take any excuse to grab a bag!).
And I do have a few fun activities that you might enjoy to make math more fun and engaging for your students, especially if your kids tend to be a little ahem wild and crazy this time of year (so.much.sugar!).
So I thought I would share them with you this week!
Plus, find ideas to put all that candy to good use!
I hope this gives you some fun ideas for now, or even for later! (<--anyone else stock up on after Halloween clearance candy?!)
Simple Halloween Math Activities for Kids:
Below you will find a few math challenges that would be fun for Halloween. I've also included my list of 'Pumpkin Math' ideas, in case you missed it. Because pumpkins and pumpkin seeds make great Halloween math manipulatives!
