This sheet pulls third graders deeper into Halloween-flavored reasoning. Problems include a zombie's 9 jars of 3 eyeballs, 6 vampires collecting 7 candies each, and 7 spiders spinning 5 webs. Students label "Her eyes were as bright as stars" as a simile and define conflict as the problem a character faces.
Estimation tasks round 71 minus 38 and 87 plus 14 to the nearest ten. A matching activity sorts Synonym, Antonym, Prefix, and Suffix to their meanings. Linking word-study vocabulary with multiplication and rounding strengthens reading and math at once.

Halloween Math & Reading
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A zombie had 9 jars with 3 eyeballs in each, so there were 27 eyeballs.
2. A word that means the same as another word is called a synonym.
3. 6 vampires each collected 7 candies, making 42 candies in all.
4. To estimate 71 minus 38 by rounding to the nearest ten you get 30.
5. Her eyes were as bright as stars is an example of a simile.
6. 4 haunted houses with 8 rooms each means 32 rooms total.
7. Rounded to the nearest ten, 87 plus 14 is about 100.
8. The problem a character faces in a story is called the conflict.
9. 7 spiders each spun 5 webs, so there were 35 webs altogether.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each vocabulary word to its meaning.
Synonym
→ A word with the same meaning
A word part added to the end
Antonym
→ A word with the opposite meaning
A word with the opposite meaning
Prefix
→ A word part added to the beginning
A word with the same meaning
Suffix
→ A word part added to the end
A word part added to the beginning
