To find even more ideas on how to get the most out of mazes in the math classroom, check out this blog post.

Plus, they’re available in both printable & digital versions (Google Slides). These mazes work great for cyclical review, as homework, bell ringers, fast finisher stations, or just good old fashion practice. Just by having cute, seasonal clipart, and copying on orange paper, makes these mazes feel like a special treat for my students. The clipart is so cute and the kids really get a kick out of it. They include the topics of distributive property, proportions, integers, and one-step equations. I’ve created 4 sets of Halloween mazes that you can purchase in my TPT store. In my classroom, we use them as a bell ringer for just about every day of the year. If you’ve ever read my blog before then you know that I LOVE mazes. Many of the ideas can be used as homework or fast finisher review work throughout the month of October.

Most of them are simple adjustments that can bring a whole lotta fun. Today, I’d like to share some of my favorite ways to bring Halloween into the middle school math classroom. It can be super simple to incorporate Halloween through clipart, little trinkets, and themes to activities, but it can definitely pay off with students who are having fun while doing math. Through my many moons as a middle school teacher, teaching 6th, 7th and 8th grade, I find that students really appreciate this nod to their childhood. So, as a math teacher I like to bring in cute and fun Halloween by incorporating things like pumpkins, bats, not too gross zombies, spiders, cute witches, etc. I’m not exactly into the horror version of Halloween. You know, it’s like an explosion of orange and purple and pumpkins and candy corn.

Of course, my version of Halloween is fun and whimsical. My birthday is in late October, so it should be no surprise that I’ve always been a big fan of Halloween.
