Less than $5 4th Grade Halloween Independent Work Packet (by date, oldest first)

Your middle schoolers are bored and tired of the same coloring sheets, crosswords, and pumpkin cutouts they've seriously been doing for years. Do them a favor and switch up your Halloween routine with this fun project-based Halloween unit which features cross-curricular content in math and language arts.

In this unit, you (or your sub!) can easily lead an independent, self-guided project for your middle-school students in grades 4 through 8. As with all of my products, you'll never see frilly hard-to-read fonts or babyish images. My products are intended for your students who think they're adults, but aren't quite there! They're loaded with examples and easy-to-understand language.

In this 13-page resource, you'll find the following activities, templates, prompts, examples and tasks that will keep them busy for days!

• "Une maison hantée thématique" - An activity that will get your students brainstorming a theme for their haunted house and a final reflexive activity on making their choice.

• "Donnez des frissons!" - An activity intended to have students stick to their "theme" and give details about the different rooms or areas within their haunted house. This activity should bring to life their design and concept.

• "Le plan d'étage" - A guided example of a building plan including a "légende" with typically used symbols in engineering to construct their one- (or multiple-) storey haunted house on paper.

• Also included is a large-format example to display for your students who need the extra visual supports.

• Also included is a blank sheet for students to draw their haunted house's building plan.

• "Mesures de ma maison hantée" - An activity to push your students' mathematical brains. These activities have step-by-step examples on changing the scale of their "paper" haunted houses to a realistic measurement, as well as calculating the perimeter and area of each of the areas within the house! Formulas are given and explained if you haven't quite got here, yet! This step will include multiplying decimal numbers.

• "Des paragraphes terrifiants!" - This writing activity will have your students thinking about audience and the purpose of writing. Miniature graphic organizers are provided for your students to create descriptive, persuasive and narrative paragraphs as well as a poster project to "sell" their haunted house!

• "Boutique Bouh!" - A series of math activities to boost your students' abilities to estimate and add decimal numbers including:

• Boutique Bouh!'s store prices to be used in 2 other activities:

• Story problems/written problems.

• Building a mathematically specific treat bag!

• "La liste de courses" - An activity that will have your students sticking to a budget when choosing the items they'll need to create the haunted house of their dreams! This activity includes a catalogue of items and prices at a local hardware store, and your students will have to calculate based on quantity, add and multiply decimal numbers, and finalize their total bill which must not surpass 1000$.

• "Potions des monstres" - An activity on ordering decimal numbers from smallest to greatest.

Looking for a fun way to engage your students while practicing place value skills? The Case of the Cursed Candy Math Mystery is a Halloween-themed math activity that will have your students solving puzzles, cracking codes, and practicing essential math skills—all while trying to stop a Halloween monster from turning the town's children into real monsters!

What’s the Mystery?

It’s Halloween in the spooky town of Mathigan, and something is terribly wrong with the candy being handed out. When the children eat it, they are transformed into real Halloween monsters! One of the town’s monsters has cursed the candy, and it's up to your students to solve the case. Using math skills, students will work through five clues to narrow down a list of ten suspects and discover who is behind the curse.

Skills Covered:

This mystery focuses on key place value skills aligned with 4th-grade standards:

• Finding the Value of a Digit in multi-digit numbers
• Comparing Multi-Digit Numbers to determine larger or smaller values
• Adding and Subtracting Multi-Digit Numbers with and without regrouping up to the hundred thousands
• Rounding Numbers up to the nearest hundred thousand

How It Works:

Students begin by reading the backstory of the cursed candy mystery, where they learn about the strange happenings in Mathigan and the list of 10 possible suspects, each with unique motives and magical items. Then, they solve math problems to unlock clues. Each correctly solved problem helps eliminate suspects from the list, bringing them closer to identifying the culprit behind the curse.

What’s Included:

• Introductory Backstory: A captivating narrative sets the stage for the mystery and introduces the town and the list of suspects, each with a reason to curse the candy.
• 10 Suspects: Students will investigate ten Halloween-themed suspects, each with a motive, a magical item used to make the curse, and an item that can break it.
• 5 Clue Sheets: Each clue sheet provides math problems that students must solve to gather more information. The math problems include place value comparisons, multi-digit addition and subtraction, and rounding to the nearest hundred thousand.
• Answer Keys: Clear answer keys for all clues ensure teachers can quickly check student work and guide them in the right direction.
• Flexible Use: This mystery can be used as a whole group, small group, or independent activity. It’s perfect for review before tests, early finishers, or as a fun, educational activity leading up to Halloween.

Why You’ll Love It:

This Halloween math mystery combines the excitement of a spooky story with important place value practice, making it a perfect way to keep students engaged while learning. The hands-on, puzzle-solving nature of this activity will capture their imaginations and provide opportunities for both individual and collaborative learning.

Looking for a fun and engaging way to celebrate Halloween with your students? The Halloween Mystery: The Case of the Missing Candy Cauldron is the perfect activity for the spooky season! This hands-on, interactive mystery is designed to keep students excited and thinking critically as they solve puzzles and uncover the culprit behind the stolen candy cauldron at the annual Monster Halloween Bash.

Background Story: Every year, the monsters—Frankenstein, Dracula, werewolves, ghosts, zombies, and witches—gather for the Annual Halloween Monster Bash, a highly anticipated event where they enjoy spooky fun, games, and candy. This year, however, something went terribly wrong. As the monsters were dancing and enjoying the festivities, the cauldron filled with candy mysteriously disappeared! The cauldron is the heart of the Monster Bash, and without it, the party can't go on. Someone had stolen the candy, and it was up to the students to find out which monster was responsible before Halloween was ruined!

Suspect List: Students will be introduced to six classic Halloween monsters who attended the party, and any one of them could be the candy thief. The suspects include:

1. Limping Larry (the zombie)
2. Wags Wolfington (the werewolf)
3. Broomhilda (the witch)
4. Frank E. Stein (Frankenstein’s monster)
5. Baron Von Bat (the vampire)
6. Spook E. Doo (the ghost)

Each monster has a unique personality, motive, and evidence that students will use to narrow down the suspects as they solve puzzles. Could it have been Frank E. Stein, who wanted to share the candy with his monster friends? Or maybe Baron Von Bat, who just wanted to show off by stealing the cauldron?
Puzzle Types:The activity includes four different types of Halloween-themed puzzles and ciphers that students will need to solve to gather clues. Each puzzle reveals new information, helping students cross off suspects from their list. The puzzles are designed to engage students while promoting problem-solving skills. Examples of puzzles include:

• Codebreaking: Deciphering Halloween-themed codes.
• Word puzzles: Using letters and numbers to unlock clues.
