CHARLIE BROWN THE GREAT PUMPKIN (HALLOWEEN) AND MATH
Description
Looking for a way to watch a movie AND do math? This activity requires the ability to combine like terms, distribute, multiply binomials, add and subtract polynomials, solve multi-step equations, and solve inequalities. Charlie Brown The Great Pumpkin is a classic...and it is FREE on SchoolTube, which makes this activity easier. This activity is uniquely designed; students will build math problems based on numbers from the video. For instance, they will use the number of people dressed like ghosts to build an polynomial addition problem. Check out the thumbnails for more details.
This worksheet includes 18 problems that cover the following topics:
- combine like terms
- distribution
- multiply binomials
- add and subtract polynomials
- solve multi-step equations
- solve inequalities
ANSWER KEY AND EDITABLE DOCUMENT IS INCLUDED. Add this to fall activity toolbox--it should definitely take an entire class session; perhaps with extra problems for homework.
