October is the perfect time to add a little frightful fun to your math lessons—and what better way than with the Haunted House Math Project? This hands-on, Halloween-themed activity combines math practice with creativity, giving your students the chance to build their very own haunted mansion… but only after they solve the math that unlocks their spooky supplies!
🕸️ The Magic Behind the Math
Forget boring worksheets—your students will be dying to practice regrouping when pumpkins are on the line! Each correct answer earns them “pumpkins,” which they can then spend on materials to design their haunted house. From creepy windows to ghostly rooftops, every addition and subtraction problem brings them closer to a spook-tacular masterpiece.
With 72 differentiated task cards (36 addition, 36 subtraction), you’ll have enough to challenge every student—whether they’re still mastering the basics or ready to tackle tricky regrouping problems. Plus, with three levels of difficulty, you can easily differentiate and keep the whole class engaged.
