Fun Halloween themed reading comprehension

After answering the questions, students write the next part of The Mystery of Morecombe Manor story.

Trick-or-treat Halloween maths free resource
Celebrate Halloween with these fun downloadable Halloween worksheets. Students will need their thinking caps plus some coloured pens or pencils to uncover the ghoulish pictures in these maths activities.
More than just a bit of colourful fun, maths puzzles like these help children advance number fluency and grow confidence with mental maths.
There are two versions of this Halloween puzzle, one designed for Years 3 & 4, and one for Years 5 and 6.
Mystery Mosaic Puzzle 1
The first puzzle is suitable for year 3 and 4 students and will take 45-60 minutes. It could be used as a warm-up or extension activity for older students. Students need to solve the calculations to reveal a spooky picture. Calculations will involve adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing one- and two-digit numbers.
Encourage students to use mental maths and their knowledge of times tables to solve the calculations. After a little work, students should uncover the mystery image: a friendly witch!
Mystery Mosaic Puzzle 2
The second puzzle is suitable for year 5 and 6 students. Designed to take 45-60 minutes, students will need to deploy their knowledge of the times tables to solve this worksheet.
All numbers are between 1-100 and each number belongs to just one category. This means numbers like 12 are not used, because 12 is both a multiple of 3 and a multiple of 4.
Eventually, students should reveal the hidden picture: a fun pumpkin!
Instructions for both puzzles are also included in the link below.
