Halloween lessons
By Virginia

Karl, here is a lesson I use...sorry it is not language arts, but it is math.

I program a sheet for each student to create a Math Monster. Here is how I set it up:

number of eyes 21 - 15 =
number of arms
4 + 4 =
number of legs 2 x 3 =
Monster's Body Your Design!
The list goes on for noses, hands, spots, toes, fingers, and feet. I also leave a space for the
Monster's Name: ____________________________
I attach a cover worksheet to a sheet of white construction paper for students to use when drawing and coloring their "Math Monster". I program about four

to five different worksheets so the math problems are not all the same for the entire class.

I have used this activity at several different grade levels and it is always a hit with the kids. The Math Monsters are also great decorations! Good luck and Happy Halloween!
