Halloween Lesson Plans

It's Halloween week! 😳👻

And I know you might be scrambling to make this week extra special for your students (especially if you have multiple grades to prep for!)

So I wanted to make sure you have everything you need to make this week a success!

First things first... I made you some FREE, editable math warmups for the entire week!!!

On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, you'll see a "trick or treat" option on the lesson plans below. Here's how it works...

You'll provide a set of notes or worksheets for your students to complete and tell students they'll earn a Trick or a Treat based on their behavior and focus during the lesson.

You can print these trick or treat cards and set them on individual student desks or evaluate the class as a whole and give them the Trick (halloween-themed math problems) or Treat (engaging halloween math game) linked for the day!
