Halloween Races : Speed, Distance & Time
Activity Description
This engaging Halloween math worksheet brings the thrill of racing to the classroom as students use the speed-distance-time formula to calculate how fast different Halloween characters move. From vampires and ghosts to witches and bats, students must compute each character's speed in meters per minute based on their distance and time, then analyze who is the fastest—and who’s hauntingly slow.
Perfectly aligned with 7th grade Common Core standards for ratios and proportional reasoning (7.RP.A.1), this worksheet helps students:
- Apply the speed = distance ÷ time formula in real-world contexts
- Work with decimals, unit conversions, and rate comparisons
- Interpret data from a bar graph of character speeds
- Solve multi-step problems using logical reasoning
Activity Highlights:
- 🎃 Halloween theme to boost seasonal engagement
- 🧠 Focus on math fluency with speed, distance, and time relationships
- 📊 Includes chart-based comparison and reflection questions
- 🔄 Can be randomized for unique results per student
- ✅ Auto-graded for instant feedback
This activity is ideal for October classroom use, math centers, or even as a fun Friday challenge. It blends critical thinking with Halloween fun, making it a favorite for both students and teachers.
Learning Objective
