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
Counting up four from 6 gives 7, 8, 9, 10. So 6 + 4 equals 10.
2. A witch rides a broom.
In Halloween storybooks, witches fly through the sky sitting on a broom.
3. 12 - 5 = 7
Take 5 away from 12 and you are left with 7, because 12 - 5 = 7.
4. You collect candy on Halloween.
Going trick-or-treating means stopping at houses to gather sweet treats, so candy is what you collect on Halloween.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. A pumpkin is orange.
True False
True. Pumpkins grow with bright orange skin, which is why jack-o'-lanterns look orange too.
2. 8 - 3 = 4.
True False
False. 8 - 3 equals 5, not 4, so the equation is not correct.
3. Witches wear tall hats.
True False
True. In stories and pictures, witches are usually shown wearing tall, pointy black hats.
