PUMPKINOES are domino style math activities perfect for your fall math centers. These pumpkin math games and activities exercise skills ranging from counting to critical thinking; basic operations to HOTS. Pumpkin dominoes are open ended, easily differentiated, and useful for all elementary math classes.

These Latin Squares math puzzles will challenge children's deductive reasoning skills and help them acquire the critical thinking needed to solve Sudoku puzzles.  PUMPKIN SQUARES begin with an easy 3x3 grid appropriate for young learners.  The tasks progress gradually, increasing in difficulty up to a 7x7 grid.  PUMPKIN SQUARES are available in print and digitally on TPT Easel.

HOW MANY WAYS? Fall Edition is an open-ended, math bulletin board that is perfect computation practice for any elementary classroom.  Challenge your students' critical thinking and fluency to determine how many ways they can reach the target number by combining the values on the pumpkins.  The task is similar to Boogle(TM) for numbers.  Post the operation symbols and the target number you choose to easily differentiate the task.

HALLOWEEN SQUARE PUZZLERS are fun, yet challenging brain teaser puzzles for kids. They exercise critical thinking & problem solving, build perseverance & stamina, and stimulate the brain while disguising it all as fun. Similar to Scrambled Squares(TM), these printable, differentiated, logic puzzles must be reconstructed so the images match on every interior side. Use them for centers, stations, rotations, fast finishers, enrichment, GATE, and/or a class reward. Adored by all ages.

While the theme of this product is Halloween, the graphics have been chosen carefully to preclude concerns about frightening and/or evil visuals. The icons used are owls, pumpkins (no Jack-o'-lanterns), candy corn, and bats. All objects are presented in rainbow colors, adding to the light and happy feel of the puzzles.

IT'S ABOUT TIME for FALL POETRY!

 

Do you incorporate poetry into your daily lessons?  The potential for skills learned through poetry is nearly limitless.  Many students love learning through poetry because the text is less intimidating.

Check out these examples:

If you thought Johnny Appleseed poems were only for primary classes, you would be wrong.  The polysyllabic words are a great challenge to intermediate learners.  There are words with 5 syllables!  Have fun with this vocabulary by unscrambling them using the printable provided.  You can also work on fact and opinion with the another printable.

This apple poem can be used as a mentor text for couplets.  Or, focus on adjectives, creating an apple adjective tree.  Exercise verbal fluency and have fun brainstorming ways we use apples.

There are sooooo many possibilities for teaching with poetry.  Find these poems, lesson activities, and more in FALL POETRY POSSIBILITIES.
