Halloween Story Time Math with Free 5 + 10 Frames
It wouldn’t be Halloween at our house if I didn’t incorporate some kind of kid lit inspired learning into October. Since my middle kiddo just started first grade, 5 and 10 frames have become a big part of our math talk. I decided to create a quick, festive printable for his math practice, and thought you guys might like it too. Read on to check out which books we loved to pair it with, as well as some of our favorite spooky math manipulatives. Then set up a Halloween story time to practice math with your own kiddos!

HALLOWEEN STORY TIME MATH MANIPULATIVES WE LOVE
- Candy corn. A sweet treat to keep kids interested, and with only 5 pieces for most books, no one will over do it.
- Halloween erasers. We always have a ton of these on hand, I usually grab ours at the Bullseye Playground section of Target.
- Candy pumpkins. Please see #1. Enough said.
- Orange pompoms. Cute, and great it you want to keep sweets minimal.
- Dry erase markers. As long as you laminate your pumpkin frames, dry or wet erase markers can be washed off to reuse the frames.
