Make practicing subtraction facts festive and fun with this Subtraction Within 20 Halloween Candy Math Center! Students solve subtraction equations on candy cards and match each piece of candy to the Halloween bag showing the correct answer.

The candy cards contain subtraction equations only, while the answers are displayed on the Halloween bag posters. Students solve each equation and place the candy into the bag with the correct difference.

For example, a candy card showing 15 − 7 would be placed into the Halloween bag labeled 8.
