Monster Math Activity

Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

This fun Monster Math activity can be used any time of the year, but it is especially fun to do with students near Halloween time.

I usually complete this activity with my students after I have read aloud the book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, but you do not need to read this book to use this monster math activity with your students.

For this activity, students write mathematical equations to describe their monster in a group activity (eyes = 8 - 5 = 3; arms = 24/6 = 4).

After students have completed the group activity, they work on their own. Students design and draw their own monster and then use mathematical equations to describe what their monster looks like.

If you are using this as a collaborative Math and English assignment, I have provided a worksheet for students to then write a story about their monster (shown below).

This unique Halloween Monster Math set of teaching resources includes 15 worksheets and 2 bulletin board display banners for you to choose from.

This set of Halloween math teaching resources includes the following components:

• a color picture of the first monster for the whole class activity
• 7 different colorful monster worksheets for the group activity
• color and black and white worksheets for the individual student activity
• color and black and white worksheets for students to write their monster stories on
• Monster Math bulletin board display banner (above)
