Halloween Themed Number Sense Review Set

By

I am soooo excited to share my AWESOME Halloween Number Sense Review Set. We are getting close to our quarterly student assessment period known as “The Benchmark”.  I wanted to create a few fun activities to review different Number Sense Activities for my class to prepare them for this assessment.  I tried to cover everything we have done so far this year in math: Place Value (to the Thousands and Millions), Rounding (to the Thousands and Millions), Adding and Subtracting 2 digit and 3 digit numbers, and WORD PROBLEMS!!!! I made it all cutesy and Halloween Themed for my class since tomorrow is October 1st and what kid doesn’t LOVE the Halloween season! Here is what I came up with…

Adding in a little bit coloring to Math not only makes the students happy BUT it frees up sometime for me to meet up with my more struggling mathematicians- 2 birds  bats, one stone.

Students often get tripped up on the simple adding and subtracting mistakes- borrowing and carrying over, writing messy, not lining up the place values correctly. When numbers are written horizontally it sometimes throws the kids off even more.  These 6 activities allow more time to practice these skills.

 I had a lot of fun making up Halloween word problems for a mixed review of different number sense skills.  This is a great activity for centers or fast finishers.

and last but not least I made a 2 player comparing large numbers dice game for centers or partner work. My kids loved a similar activity I did in my Place Value Through the Millions set, so I know they will love this one too.
I hope your kids will love this as much as I load making it. You can get this set here on my Teachers Pay Teachers store…. remember today is the last day for my flash sale!!!
