If you are like me, you love the Halloween season! Even though Halloween isn’t a major holiday in Australia, it is getting more popular and it’s just so much FUN!
Here are some math rotations I’ve used with my class that have a Halloween theme. I use T.I.M.E. for my rotations – Teacher’s Choice (usually this is working with the teacher, unless I have individual assessments to do), Independent Work, Math Facts and Easy Revision. You can read a blog post about T.I.M.E. Math here.
For our T (Teacher’s Choice) Tub, we are working on solving and representing addition and subtraction number stories. I am using my Fall Word Problems with my lower group. We are drawing a picture, using unfix cubes in a 10-Frame, number path and number sentences to represent each problem.

You can pick up my pack of 80 Fall themed addition and subtraction problems for K-1st Grade in my TpT store.
For our Math Facts rotation, I made some ‘broomsticks’ (addition and subtraction facts written on craft sticks) and wrote the totals 7-12 on Halloween themed tubs or ‘cauldrons’. Students pull a ‘broomstick’, solve, and sort the sticks into the ‘cauldrons’.
Here’s a recording sheet I made to go along with it if you want to make this activity for yourself. I added some Hundred Charts to work out the answers as differentiation for those who needed it and some flash cards for fast finishers – they love testing and timing each other!
Another game we’ve been playing to master addition math facts the last two weeks is Witchy Brew. You can download it here in google drive.
Do you love Halloween as much as me?!
