Halloween Math Activity: Two Digit Multiplication Message Decoder

Great resource and time saver. Very useful! Thank you!

My Students loved using this resources! It was a definitely a hit!

I used this with my students at the beginning of the year when we were reviewing/reteaching multi-digit multiplication. My class is an SAI classroom, and my students really struggled with the standard algorithm, and hated practicing on just plain worksheets (not that I blame them!), so I loved the riddle and dancing skeletons in this resource. I also liked that it was self-checking, since students needed to find their answer at the bottom of the page. My only complaint would be the lack of room on the page itself to do the math, since my students really struggle to transfer data from one place to another, and they often wrote the numbers incorrectly. This also ties in with the other consideration that there were problems for every letter of the alphabet, but not every letter was used. This meant that students could only self-check some of their work, and they often spent a long time looking for that answer at the bottom of the page, becoming frustrated when they couldn't find it. I would love if this resource had a simplified version with only the problems needed to solve the riddle and therefore more space on the page itself to actually work through the problems.

Great math activity!

Took up a lot of time on a crazy day!

Great resource! Thank you!
