So I created these Counting Mats for Halloween buckets.  I know they are a simple square with a number on them, but they will make it easy to just buy some buckets and collect some stuff to count into them and you have a great little math center that is academic and fun.

And there are lots of variations out there for the buckets and lots of different things you can use as counters.  Here are some of my favorites.

These counting mats are free in our Teachers Pay Teachers store – click here to go there now.  Or download it instantly as a Plus member here! Hopefully, they will help you implement this center a little bit easier!  Happy October friends.
