Halloween gives parents and teachers a wonderful tool to motivate children to do mathematics. These Halloween math activities can at school with a whole class or small group or playing at home with his brothers against each other or a child playing can be used with an adult.

Here are somedifferent ways to teach children counting, arithmetic and mathematical skills to practice.

Creepy
Buzz is a game popular among many children. But you are committed, they will find that the version of Halloween even more similar.

Players sit in a circle and start counting the circle. But if a player number 7, a multiple of seven, 14 or 35 is, for example, or any number with 7 digits, eg 27, the player says buzz instead of the number. If a player says, 'Buzz' on the correspondingTime is of the players.

A shorter version of this game is to have everyone working for the realization of a word.
The person who completes the last letter of the winners.

Halloween puzzles are also a good way for children involved with mathematics. Just take your favorite quiz and change the characters and situations to a Halloween character or situation.

Here are a couple to start.

Dracula only likes red candy and Frankenstein only likes black candy. There are 6 pieces of red candy, 9 pieces of Black Candy and 4 pieces of candy in a blue bag.
