👻Eight friendly Halloween pictures, each in eight versions, so a whole class can color the same ghost or black cat while one child reads numerals and another counts ten frames or adds within 10. Everyone finishes with the same picture, and every child practices number sense at the right level.

Halloween Color by Number Sense is a differentiated color by code math set for Pre-K, kindergarten and 1st grade. It builds number sense for 1 to 10 through eight original, friendly Halloween pictures: a ghost, a black cat, a witch hat and broom, a candy bucket, a bat and moon, a haunted house, a bubbling cauldron and a silly monster.
Each picture comes in eight versions, for 64 worksheets in all. The coloring code changes while the finished picture stays the same. Children may match numerals, read number words, count ten frames, read tally marks, subitize dot cards, count domino dots, count pumpkins or solve addition within 10. Because all eight representations lead to the same picture, a mixed class can work side by side on the same page without anyone feeling singled out.
This makes the set useful well beyond a single holiday page. Start younger learners on numerals and counting objects, then move them toward ten frames, dominoes and addition as their confidence grows. Students who already know their numbers can practice subitizing and early addition while still enjoying the coloring.
A Number Sense Helper poster, which doubles as a desk mat, shows numbers 1 to 10 six different ways for quick reference. An "I Colored It!" tracker lets children record each finished picture.
A 4-week Halloween study plan, a teacher guide with a differentiation chart and standards, and color answer keys for every picture are included. The 79 pages suit math centers, morning work, small groups, intervention, early finishers, homework, sub plans and homeschool.
