Halloween Number Puzzles, Counting to 10

Halloween Number Puzzles, Counting to 10

(0)
This Halloween themed activity is a great way for your students to work on their math, number, counting, fine motor and problem solving skills. As well as all these skills, this activity will provide your students with the opportunity to look at images of Halloween and use these as a talking point. The puzzles come in 3 different difficulty levels; • Level 1 - 0-3 • Level 2 - 0-5 • Level 3 - 0-10 There is a range of ways that these can be used in your classroom such as; • Print out the b/w puzzles, cut them up and hand them out to your students. Have your students put the puzzles together, sticking them onto a piece of paper/into their work book, then colour them in. • Print out the puzzles, cut them up and laminate them. Use them as a center activity where your students have to look at the numbers on the bottom of each puzzle piece, put them into numerical order to make the puzzle. • Print out two copies of each puzzle (one copy can be b/w), laminate one as a full puzzle (i recommend the b/w one) and then cut out the puzzle pieces on the other puzzle. Laminate the puzzle pieces. Have your students match the individual pieces onto the completed puzzle. This provides a lower ability option for students struggling. Instructions are also included on first pages of each PDF document. I would highly recommend laminating each of the individual task cards so that they will be stronger, therefore longer lasting. This is a great way to keep students motivated and engaged while working on their ten frame counting skills. Comes in both b/w and col option for your printing preference.

This resource is a great way for your students to work on their spelling and handwriting skills, plus it's linked to the theme of Halloween. Each page comes with two task cards on it with the same image/vocabulary. One task card is for spelling or handwriting - it comes with a prompt above so students can either use the included letters to match them or they can write in the boxes underneath to work on their handwriting skills. The second task card on the page is for students to work on their handwriting by having a prompt underneath, this is where students will overwrite the word. The task cards come in b/w and col option for your preference. ♦ Task Card 1: Students have a picture, prompt and then cut out letters to match to the words or use the prompt above to work on their handwriting in the boxes below. ♦ Task Card 2: Students over write the Halloween word. This activity does require you to do a bit of cutting and laminating but it is well worth it and will be long-lasting and beneficial to your pupils. Cut out the task cards and laminate them as your 'base'. Then cut out the individual letters and laminate these. I recommend laminating as they will last longer but if you want to use as a cut/paste activity with your students these will also be great.
