Witch's Brew: A Spooktacular Activity for Math Workstations!

If you are looking for something "spooky" to enhance your math workstations... check out my new packet! Students will be engaged and excited to use a witch's brew candy corn mix to practice making sums from 10 to 20 with three addends. Here's the materials that you need for this fun activity: 

class set of small plastic pumpkins or small plastic cauldrons
2 bags of Autumn mix- candy corn, indian corn and pumpkins
Witch's Brew sorting mat
Witch's Brew 10 frames
Witch's Brew template
Math Journal

Directions: 
Put 20 pieces of candy corn mix inside each pumpkin/cauldron
Each student gets one pumpkin or put in groups of two for one pumpkin
Hand out a sorting mat to each student
Hand out 10 frames to each student/group
Hand out the Witch's Brew template to each student

Sorting Mat and 10 Frames

Model to students how to make sums from 10 to 20 with three addends using the three different pieces of candy. They will dump out their pieces and sort them on their mat. After sorting, then students can arrange the pieces on their 10 frames to make the desired sum.  The goal is to show different addends each time for different number combinations. My students had a BLAST doing this activity and who doesn't like to use candy corn and pumpkins to count????
