Halloween Math
It’s Halloween;
the students are happy and cannot focus on their assignment. What should you do to get them back on task? Take the opportunity to engage in storytelling. First, the teacher will discuss the history
of Halloween. Second, have some of the
students describe their costume, and tell why they selected it. Take pictures and post them on the bulletin board. The following day when the students come to
class with a bag of candy do not take it.
Tell the students they will work in groups and create pictographs. One member for each group will describe their
graph to the class. The teacher will
assign a key for each pictograph. Some
of the students may decide to have a snack.
Remind them the purpose of this task is to engage in a math activity.
