Answer Key
Part 1: Count the Goodies!
- Pumpkin & Ghost Stand: 9 Pumpkins, 6 Ghosts
- Witch's Hat & Cauldron Corner: 7 Witch Hats, 10 Cauldrons
- Creepy Crawler Candy Shop: 11 Spiders, 11 Candy Corns
Part 2: Compare the Counts!
- Number of Pumpkins (9) > Number of Ghosts (6)
- Number of Witch Hats (7) < Number of Cauldrons (10)
- Number of Spiders (11) = Number of Candy Corns (11)
- Number of Ghosts (6) < Number of Witch Hats (7)
Part 3: Market Math!
- Original total: 9 pumpkins + 6 ghosts = 15 items. Items bought: 4 + 2 = 6. Remaining: 15 - 6 = 9
- Original spiders: 11. Add 5 more: 11 + 5 = 16
- There are 10 cauldrons and 9 pumpkins. The correct answer to circle is: Cauldrons
