Halloween Math & Reading — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. candy
2. witch
3. ghost
4. mask
5. bat
6. spook
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 6 + 4 = 10
The greatest common factor is the biggest number that divides both parts evenly. Using it shrinks the fraction to its simplest form in one step.
2. A witch rides a broom.
Multiply the number of bones by fabric per bone: 16 × 38 gives 488, which simplifies to 6. So exactly 6 yards of fabric are needed.
3. 12 - 5 = 7
Three batches pour in 3 × 1.75 = 5.25 liters total. The cauldron holds 5.5 liters, so 5.5 − 5.25 leaves 0.25 liters of empty space — not quite full.
4. You collect candy on Halloween.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. A pumpkin is orange.
True False
2. 8 - 3 = 4.
True False
3. Witches wear tall hats.
True False
