Halloween counting mats 1–20 for preschool, Pre-K, and kindergarten! This hands-on Halloween math center helps students practice number recognition, counting to 20, one-to-one correspondence, quantity building, and numeral matching with a friendly ghost and his pumpkin bucket. One set covers counting from 1 all the way to 20. Start beginning learners at 1–5, move on to 1–10, and stretch into the teen numbers as students build confidence. Students use the haunted houses at the bottom of each mat as a visual counting area and place the matching number of candies in the pumpkin bucket. They can also use the numbered mats to build quantities, or match numbered candies to the ghost with the same numeral.
