Students correct three Halloween computation errors — a potion ingredients total, a candy-sharing result, and a two-step pumpkin-plus-candy purchase. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank Halloween math problems involving webs, treats, and costumes. Part C has two short-answer questions: a two-step candy problem and explaining a Halloween simile.
Combining Halloween computation practice with figurative language questions makes the seasonal theme academically substantive.

Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
A witch brewed 8 batches of potion with 7 ingredients each. She used 54 ingredients because 8 × 7 = 54.
Rewrite: A witch brewed 8 batches of potion with 7 ingredients each. She used 56 ingredients because 8 × 7 = 56.
2. Fix the sentence:
Dracula shared 72 candies equally among 9 trick-or-treaters. Each child got 7 candies because 72 ÷ 9 = 7.
Rewrite: Dracula shared 72 candies equally among 9 trick-or-treaters. Each child got 8 candies because 72 ÷ 9 = 8.
3. Fix the sentence:
Mia bought 6 pumpkins at $12 each and one bag of candy for $15. She spent $85 because 6 × 12 = 72 and 72 + 15 = 85.
Rewrite: Mia bought 6 pumpkins at $12 each and one bag of candy for $15. She spent $87 because 6 × 12 = 72 and 72 + 15 = 87.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A spider spins 9 webs with 8 strands each. She uses 72 strands in all.
2. A ghost distributes 84 treats equally into 7 bags. Each bag has 12 treats.
3. Five costumes cost $14 each. The total cost is $70.
4. A haunted house has 96 candles arranged in 8 equal rows. Each row has 12 candles.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. A skeleton bought 4 bags of candy with 25 pieces each and gave away 36 pieces. How many are left? Show your steps.
Step 1: 4 × 25 = 100 pieces total. Step 2: 100 − 36 = 64 pieces left.
2. What does the simile "The night was as dark as a black cat" mean? Explain in your own words.
It means the night was extremely dark. The writer compares the darkness to a black cat to help the reader picture how dark it was.
