Halloween Worksheets for your Middle School Math Classroom

middle school math halloween worksheets

Are anyone else’s students looking forward to Halloween? I’ve been trying to sprinkle in some Halloween Math worksheets whenever we need a chance to practice. I decided to put together a list of all of my favorite Halloween math activities for you to use with your students.

I always find it very difficult to find activities that match where we are in our curriculum. Currently, my 7th graders are studying ratios and proportions and my 8th graders are studying Laws of Exponents, so these Halloween worksheets are centered around those topics.

Halloween Worksheet #1: Two-Step Equations Monster Maze

halloween worksheets math two step equations monster maze

Confession: I am not a spooky Halloween fan. I love the childhood fun of dressing up, walking around the neighborhood, and seeing everyone’s costumes (and my kids LOVE the candy.) That’s why I absolutely love these little monsters! They are so cute but still on theme, and I love that my students can still get some great practice. My students love a maze. They can’t wait to see if we’re going to have to complete all of the problems. Ironically, it makes them more motivated to answer questions when they know where the limits are.

Since there isn’t much room on the maze, my students show work in their notebooks or on a separate sheet of paper and attach it to the back of their maze. We spend a LOT of time practicing keeping their work organized on scrap paper. Then, they use a color of their choice to shade in their path through the maze. I love the color version for displaying on the board and the black-and-white version for copying for the kids. My favorite is when my artists color in the monsters with different patterns and additions. They are so creative and talented!

Halloween Worksheet #2: Math Challenges from Rise Over Run

middle school math halloween worksheets

I honestly don’t know where I found these, but they’re incredible! My Honors class absolutely loved the Candy Corn Paint activity. It was nice to be able to challenge them and watch all the different strategies they came up with. I used the Candy Container activity for our October Math Club meeting. Since we both advise other clubs as well, Math Club can sometimes take a backseat on our priority list, but this was the perfect activity for us. Easy, low prep, and engaging. I love that it is open-ended enough that kids of all levels could access it and they could test their containers as they went. We had so much fun with it! I couldn’t find a direct link to this activity, but she has an amazing list of Halloween Math activities in her TPT store .

Halloween Worksheet #3: Math Mystery

middle school math halloween worksheets

I love, love, love these Math Mysteries . When I taught 6th grade, I used these in almost every chapter. They were so fun and my students absolutely loved them. I love that she has a Halloween-themed Math Mystery that actually matches the things we study in the fall! The same mystery is available for different grade levels, so I can easily differentiate to give my Honors class the challenge they need or switch to a lower grade level for more targeted skills practice.

Halloween Worksheet #4:Spooky Cookies

To spice up your proportions practice, your students can modify recipes for spooky cookies created by the ever-amazing Lindsay Perro. A lot of my students this year love to bake and cook so we have been loving scaling recipes to give more practice. They can see the value in practice because they don’t want to mess up the recipe!

Halloween Worksheet #5: Solving Proportions Maze

Yes, I’m listing another one of my products but I absolutely love this one. Some of my middle schoolers are too old for all of this Halloween practice. *insert eye roll here* This maze is perfect. The pumpkins make it a little more fun without making it too babyish. As always, my artists go to town on the black-and-white version.

I hope this list of Halloween worksheets was helpful and you found something that you can use in your classroom! If you try them out, let me know ! I love hearing from you and hearing what’s going on in your classroom. Are you incorporating Halloween math activities into your classroom? What are some of your favorites?

Enjoying Halloween Math Activities in Middle School

October 23, 2016 by Rachel

Quick question for you: Where does a ghost go on Saturday night?

Answer: Anywhere he can boo-gie!

Ah, it’s that time of year again! Piles of candy, fun costumes, spooky stories, and if you’re really lucky, cheesy Halloween jokes. With all this fun and excitement going on, it can be tough for students to stay focused on the math world of integers, slope, and graphs. But with just a few adjustments, we can help students stay on top of math while having fun. Use these Halloween math strategies and resources to enjoy the season while staying on track with the math.

1- Cheesy Halloween Jokes

A great way to inject a little whimsy and Halloween fun is with Halloween jokes. Add them to your whiteboard, class website, or sprinkle them throughout your lesson. Here’s a link  to a great collection of Halloween jokes. Be warned- they are extra cheesy. Which, of course, makes them extra awesome! Here’s a few examples:

Q: Where do baby ghosts go during the day?

A: Dayscare!

Q: What kind of protozoa likes Halloween?

A: An amoeboo!

I mean, how great are those?! I can just hear the groans from my students now!

2-Halloween themes in math problems

When you ask math questions throughout the week leading up to Halloween, embrace the seasonal, and don’t be afraid to be a little silly. Some topics to consider:

  • pounds of candy
  • odds of surviving a zombie apocalypse
  • time spent trick or treating relative to candy received
  • anything with costumes, ghosts, haunted houses, and of course, pumpkins.

3- Incorporate Halloween themed math resources

A few years ago I had a hard time finding a fun math activity for my students to do for Halloween. But now, there are more and more resources readily available for teachers. Whatever you’re currently studying or reviewing with your students, you’ll likely be able to find a Halloween math resource. And just like that, students will be a bit more engaged and enthusiastic than they would with a non-seasonal version. Weird, I know. But year after year that’s exactly what I see with my students.

Halloween themed practice with comparing functions is a hit with my middle school students!

Halloween Comparing Functions- Color by Answer gets students practicing comparing functions, with an added bonus of a simple coloring break. Just this simple nod to the season gets students a little more into their practice and they really enjoy the break from traditional practice.

Halloween themed clipart + orange paper= fun Halloween math practice with this Halloween Proportions Maze.

Cute Halloween graphics + one step equations practice adds up to fun, festive math practice. I’ll be using these two mazes for cyclical review in my classroom.

What better way to get practice with the distributive property than this fun Halloween themed maze.

What better way to get practice with the distributive property than this fun Halloween themed maze ? I love the spiderwebs on this maze- they just fit!

Halloween math fun with this order of operations riddle. Check out simple ways to bring Halloween fun into the classroom!

Another great way to practice math at Halloween is with this Order of Operations Riddle activity . It’s cheesy and fun, while also reviewing this important skill.

Halloween math practice with integers mazes is a great blend of math practice and seasonal fun.

Finally, another important skill that my students always need more practice with is adding integers. These two math mazes will get students more practice and make them even more confident when working with positive and negative integers.

Halloween math ideas for the middle school classroom.

Embracing Halloween

I hope these ideas help you navigate this Halloween season. To read even more easy ways to bring Halloween fun into the middle school classroom, plus 2 great freebies, check out “ 13 Halloween Math Activities. ”

Here’s one more cheesy Halloween joke- feel free to impress your colleagues, students, friends, and family with its awesomeness!

Why didn’t the skeleton dance at the party?

He had no body to dance with.

Thanks so much for reading! Until next time.

Halloween Math Activities for Middle School and High School Students

It’s that time of year when math class is full of spooky sums ! F rightful fractions ! P aranormal parabolas ! Um, maleficent terror percent error?

This year has reshaped what it means to bring trick-or-treating into our communities and to celebrate Halloween with our students. But rest assured, whether your students are first learning about zombie zeroes or eerie series , you can still bring Halloween into your math classroom.

Here are some fun ideas for Halloween math activities for middle school and high school students.

Fun Halloween Math Activities

Good timing.

This year, Halloween is not on a school night, and it’s on a full moon. What are the odds of that happening?

  • For middle schoolers, what is the probability that Halloween will fall on a Friday or Saturday in a given year? What is the probability that it is on a full moon (which occurs every 29.5 days)?
  • For high schoolers, ask whether these probabilities are independent, and have them find the odds that both occur at the same time.
  • This can extend into a creepy coincidences project. Have your students ever said the same thing as a friend at the same time? Did they learn that another family has a pet with the same name? Ask students to think about an instance where two or more things happened at the same time, and then have them calculate the odds of that occurring. Embrace the fact that math is not a perfect science! How do you calculate the probability of two people saying the same word at the same time?

Possible answers: There are seven days in a week, so there is a 2/7 chance that any given day would fall on a Friday or Saturday. A full moon occurs every 29.5 days, so there is a 1/29.5 chance that any given day would fall on a full moon. These probabilities are independent, so the probability that both occur is (2/7) • (1/29.5) ≈ 0.0097, or 0.97%. Answers will vary wildly for the last project. Assuming the word wasn't too unusual, it probably comes from a lexicon of around 800 words . And assuming the speakers start talking about a new topic once every 60 seconds, the probability that they speak at the same time is around 0.0165 (note that the previous link involves multivariable calculus; in lieu of internet research, students might intuit that there's about a 1% chance of speaking at the same time). Since these two probabilities are independent, the odds that two people say the same word at the same time is around 1/800 • 0.0165 ≈ 0.00002, or 0.002%.

The Great Candy Swap

There’s one image that many children associate with Halloween: a giant bag of candy! There’s a lot of math to be found in supernatural sweets .

  • For middle schoolers, have them take on the role of a candy seller trying to assemble the perfect bag of candy. They should start by listing all of the candies they would want to sell together in a mixed bag and then survey their classmates to see which are the most popular. If there are 100 pieces of candy in the bag, what should the ratio of candies be so that every student gets what they want? How would the quantities change if there were only 20 pieces of candy? This activity is similar to Into AGA author Robert Kaplinsky’s chip bag problems , where students can analyze how many different types of chips should go in a mixed box.
  • For high schoolers, have them start a full-on candy business. They should begin by making a catalog of what candy they will sell. Have them research how much the candy costs to buy in bulk. Will they sell small or large packs? Mixed bags? How much will each pack cost? Once everyone’s store is ready, all students get 100 (fake) dollars to spend and get an open market day. At the end, who earned the most money? Who earned the most profit ? For a more authentic experience, have students design their stores, complete with shelves, custom bags, advertisements, and anything else they think will help drive business. But don’t let them forget to include these costs in their profit calculations!

Possible answers: Students could survey the class and extend the proportion of each candy picked to a fraction over 100 or 20. For example, if three students out of a class of 17 vote for Snickers, then a mixed bag of 100 should include 18 Snickers (3/17 ≈ 17.6/100) and a mixed bag of 20 should include four Snickers (3/17 ≈ 3.53/20). For students looking to calculate the cost of making a mixed bag, they should research the cost of buying a bag of Snickers, calculate the unit cost, and multiply that by 18 for the bag of 100 or 4 for the bag of 20.

Pumpkin Math

Pumpkins are an excellent way to introduce a fun Halloween math activity into so many math topics. Pre-kindergarteners can count them, elementary schoolers can measure them, and high schoolers can launch them with trebuchets! Check out some problems for teachers and students from our Into AGA program. In these free worksheets, students graph the circumferences of prize-winning pumpkins (Algebra 1) and model the path of a pumpkin launch (Algebra 2).

Can you escape the web of zombies in 13 steps and exit safely? Challenge yourself with a web made up of algebraic expressions that include exponents and square roots, all tangled up with angles, area, and other ghostly geometry concepts. This puzzle is designed for students in 7th grade and older and comes with an answer key for teachers.
