Trick or Treat!
The angel, bee, dracula, ghost, witch,
and pirate went out trick or treating on Halloween. At the first
house they each got one candy. At the second house they each got
two candies and at the third house they each got three candies.
They decided to stop after the fifth house and count up all their
candies altogether and have a party. How many candies did they
collect in all?
Show your work.
For 4th and 5th grades: How many candies would they have
