Halloween Picture Puzzles
A hidden mystery image is revealed across two separate Halloween-themed picture puzzles, each built from cut-apart strips that chain together through math clues rather than a simple jigsaw fit. Students start with the strip marked by a star, solve the clue printed on it — such as rounding 142 to the nearest hundred, doubling a number, or identifying the digit in the tens place — and then find the next strip whose left-side answer matches, repeating the process until every strip is placed in order and pasted onto a blank answer sheet. The included guide describes two ways to run the activity, as a self-checking math center using cut strips stored in a jar or as a whole-group activity where every student receives their own scrambled copy, and offers practical tips such as printing on cardstock, laminating for reuse, and using glue sticks over liquid glue. Both puzzles include a completed answer key showing the correct clue-to-answer chain for teacher reference.
