October Pumpkin Math Freebie – Build It Center for Numbers 1–20 with Recording Sheets and I Can Cards

This October Pumpkin Math Free Build It Center is a hands-on way for students to strengthen number sense and counting fluency. Using pumpkin-themed mats, students count, build, and record numbers 1–20 with manipulatives of choice (such as mini erasers, counters, or linking cubes).
