Halloween Hidden Word Math Puzzles:

• Both levels can work well in many classes for differentiation (and the more challenging puzzles can work for consolidation in Year 7 too)
• Full Answer Keys included
• PDF format within the Zip file
• Engaging alternative to standard worksheets - students spot mistakes and use the linked letters to spell a Halloween-related word!
• Great for individuals, pairs or small groups
• Use for starters, early finishers, homework etc.
• Concepts include: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, Times Tables, Doubling and Halving, Multiplying and Dividing by 10 and 100, Place Value, Negative Numbers, Fractions, Percentages and Decimals (Not all concepts feature in the lower level puzzles)

 
Scary Story Writing Prompts:

• Use as warm ups, early finishers activities and as a framework for free writing sessions
• Each of the 20 A4 cards features a visual element (photo / picture stimulus), a starter sentence or part-sentence to help launch children into their fiction / narrative writing
• Prompt questions to get ideas going
• A word bank and suggested openers to add variety to their writing
• A box at the bottom reminds students to read their work aloud, check for full stops and capital letters and common spellings
• Range of scariness levels - Students who get more easily spooked can find prompts to suit them too.
• UK and US English versions included, with spellings and references to ‘full stops’ and ‘periods’ etc amended as appropriate
• Designed to offer maximum support for dyslexic learners and those with similar barriers to learning. Verdana font and spacing used are both dyslexia-friendly and the background colours are designed to reduce glare. Both the UK and US cards are also included with the background colours removed and could be used if printing on dyslexia friendly paper or card.
• Could be used to support the writing of a full story
• Could also work well as a regular tool to support struggling writers in one-to-one or small group sessions, where students write a few sentences inspired by the prompts, without worrying about completing a story
