Have some Halloween fun while practicing word problems! Bring some candy to use for counting, dress up if you would like, and join us for Halloween themed word problems. We will be solving word problems using addition and subtraction, including addition of 3 numbers, and unknowns in all positions. The problems include numbers to 20. The word problems include Halloween themes and fun photos. Let's solve word problems to find out how much candy we have left, or solve for the number of bats, pumpkins, or spiders. We will use strategies including finding key words, drawing pictures (exciting Halloween photos), number lines, and number sentences to solve the word problems. This class will be fun and interactive, using animated PowerPoint slides to demonstrate the word problems and bring some Halloween fun to math. I will have Halloween decorations in my classroom, and maybe a fun costume. Please feel free to dress up (nothing scary!). The Halloween photos used are kid friendly and not scary. 

At the start of class, we will briefly review the strategies we will be using to solve our word problems. We will then practice solving word problems together and enjoy some Halloween fun. 

My class is always interactive, where the learners have an opportunity to ask and answer questions. They are encouraged to actively participate. As some learners are very shy, I do not call upon anyone if they do not want to answer a question. I ask that they raise their hands if they would like to participate and we take turns.
