This
apple "craftivity" is a super-fun way to reinforce
addition and/or
subtraction. If you teach older students, I've also included a template to make a
multiplication apple game.
Students roll a dice to see if they will work on their
addition or
subtraction skills.
If they roll an even number they will
add and use that side of the
apple mat.
If they roll an
odd number, they'll flip the mat over and use the
subtraction side.
For their 2nd roll, they toss two dice to determine their equation, which they jot down on their recording sheet.
Students can either use the paper seed tiles, sunflower seeds, or pom poms as manipulatives to show "how many" on their mat.
To help reinforce
greater and less than, have students use those
math symbol centers in the middle of their
apple mat. They can also write these equations down.
