For example, you could use pink and red hearts for Valentine&#8217;s day. Or light and dark green shamrocks for St. Patrick&#8217;s Day. Or shapes and colors from whatever theme your students happen to be learning about.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Math Goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I had several goals for this activity. One was a simple matching activity. Students needed to place their pumpkin by matching it to the correct color pumpkin on the smaller ten frame. This is not always easy for the littles and usually involves counting squares in order to place correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My second goal was to have students notice combinations of 10. So I included the matching&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/familymathnight.com\/pdf\/pumpkin-equations.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pumpkin equations<\/a>&nbsp;underneath the smaller ten frames. If you look closely at the photo at the top, you&#8217;ll see the equations starting with 1 + 9 = 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My third goal was to have students notice that 3 + 7 gave the same answer as 7 + 3. We call these addition turn around facts &#8211; or the commutative property of addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I realize that during a Family Math Night event most students won&#8217;t be standing in front of the pumpkins thinking about the math. To have that happen, I could have turned this into one of my&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/familymathnight.com\/resources\/familymathnight-notice.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What Do You Notice?<\/a>&nbsp;activities. But what I ended up doing was leaving the ten frames up in the multi-use room. This allowed for classrooms to come in the next day and discuss what they saw. These&nbsp;<em>math talks<\/em>&nbsp;generate a lot of great mathematical observations. Plus, it gets the students who were not at the event excited about coming to the next one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2720-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5354\" style=\"width:244px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2720-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2720-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2720-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2720-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2720-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2720-203x270.jpg 203w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2720-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sign-in2-450x740.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5361\" style=\"width:171px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sign-in2-450x740.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sign-in2-183x300.jpeg 183w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sign-in2-164x270.jpeg 164w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sign-in2.jpeg 645w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sign-in1b-450x701.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5362\" style=\"width:182px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sign-in1b-450x701.png 450w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sign-in1b-193x300.png 193w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sign-in1b-173x270.png 173w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sign-in1b.png 523w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>For more fun sign-in &#8220;sheets&#8221; visit our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/familymathnight.com\/resources\/familymathnight-signin.php\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign-In Resources page<\/a>.
