Halloween classrooms come alive with story elements and seasonal multiplication. Students count 7 rows of 6 tombstones, figure out 8 witches each brewing 4 potions, and round 54 trick-or-treaters to the nearest ten. They also name personification in "the fog crept slowly across the yard" and identify words like crash and boom as onomatopoeia.
A matching exercise pairs Setting, Plot, Theme, and Narrator with their definitions. With 5 ghosts dragging 8 chains each and an estimate of 63 plus 28, third graders weave story vocabulary with multiplication and rounding in one engaging set.

Halloween Math & Reading
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A graveyard has 7 rows with 6 tombstones each, so there are 42 tombstones.
2. The order of events in a story is called the plot.
3. 8 witches each brewed 4 potions, making 32 potions in all.
4. Rounded to the nearest ten, 54 trick-or-treaters is about 50.
5. The phrase the fog crept slowly across the yard uses personification to describe the fog.
6. 3 monsters each carried 9 bags, so there were 27 bags total.
7. When you estimate 63 plus 28 by rounding to the nearest ten you get 90.
8. Words like crash and boom that sound like what they mean are called onomatopoeia.
9. 5 ghosts with 8 chains each means 40 chains altogether.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each story element to its definition.
