Fifth graders tackle volume, percent, and order-of-operations puzzles in costume. Multiple choice covers an 8 by 5 by 3 candy box, a store of 400 masks split 45% witch and 30% vampire with the rest ghost, the expression 4 × (6 + 3) − 12 ÷ 4, and the area of a 2-meter path bordering a 50 by 30 haunted maze.
Fill-in items keep the rigor up — a 6 ft coffin-shaped box's volume, a $60 costume marked 20% off, the expression 5 + 3 × 8 − 2, three 4.6 kg pumpkins stacked on a scale, and 7/10 of 90 trick-or-treaters in costume. Layering geometry with discounts forces careful tracking of units and operations.
