This fun Halloween themed math center is great for students who still need a little practice with their numbers, including numeral recognition, number word recognition, and tally marks! Just as your kiddos will take their trick or treat bag from door to door to collect candy over the holiday, the activity invites students to identify the numeral labeling each candy bag cutout and collect the appropriate pieces of candy!

For example, using the colors from the image above...
