About these halloween for 1st graders worksheets

These Halloween worksheets for 1st graders practice real grade skills with a friendly theme. In math, children solve Halloween word problems within 20, add and subtract, compare two-digit numbers, read a treat bag bar graph and fill in an October calendar. In reading, they read a story about a costume parade and a short nonfiction text about how bats help us, then answer questions.

For writing there is a costume opinion page with a word bank and a checklist, plus a Halloween word search and an ABC order page. All pages are black and white, print on US Letter or A4, and pages with one right answer have an answer key at the end of the PDF. For preschool and kindergarten pages, see Halloween Worksheets.

Standards

  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.MD.C.4Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.A.1Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.B.3Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.A.1Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.6Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
  • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3Describe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.
  • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.1.2Identify the main topic and retell key details of a text.
  • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.1.2.DUse conventional spelling for words with common spelling patterns and for frequently occurring irregular words.
  • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.1.1Write opinion pieces in which they introduce the topic or name the book they are writing about, state an opinion, supply a reason for the opinion, and provide some sense of closure.

How to use them

  1. Use a math page and a reading page each day in the last week of October.
  2. On word problems, have children draw the story in the box, then write the number sentence.
  3. Read the bat passage together and talk about why bats are helpers, not scary.
  4. Fill in the October calendar with this year's dates together on the first day of the month.

Teaching tips

  • If a child guesses on compare numbers, ask them to say the tens first: "8 tens is more than 5 tens."
  • On the bar graph, have children color one box at a time and say the count as they go.
  • For the costume writing page, ask for two reasons and a closing sentence, and check the checklist together.
  • The Fall and Pumpkin pages practice the same skills for families who do not celebrate Halloween.
