Track-Your-Loot :: Free Printable

Posted by in Halloween, The Blog

Trick-or-treating doesn’t have to be all about eating candy for dinner.  It is also a fun opportunity to practice math skills.  This year we’ll be sorting and charting some of the top brand candy bars.  We’ll play simple adding and subtraction games, like “If Mom eats three of your twelve Kitty Kat bars how many will you have left?”

If you have an older child you can ask more advanced math questions like, “What percentage of your loot has chocolate in it?” Halloween is a great chance to make playing with numbers fun.  Don’t miss the opportunity.

I’d like to share our Track Your Loot sheet. Click here to print a copy for yourself.  You could also have your child design their own chart for, say the different colors in a bag of Skittles. 

Oh the delicious possibilities!

    Great idea! We do this every year:) I never thought about having a printable graph/chart made up already! Thanks for sharing.

    fun idea. we sorted our candy this year but didn’t make a graph – that would have been a fun math addition.

    Thanks for sharing on the Sunday Showcase. Hope to see you this week -

    Brilliant, Zina! I’m so glad you reposted this. We’re passing on most of our candy this year after a very disappointing dentist visit, but it’ll be fun to do something smart with it before it finds a new home.

    if mom eats all your halloween candy, how much money will she need to buy more???

    Great fun! My kids sort their candy every year and take a photo with all their loot – I think I’m going to have them compare past photos to see if some candy is more prevalent during certain years. How can they resist math when candy’s involved ;)
