Apple Math

We had a lot of fun working on our apple math today!  This week we are studying positional words and this math activity gave us an opportunity to show how much the children are learning.  The children were asked to color blue above a crease in their paper and green below.  They were then asked to place the tree trunk in the middle of their paper.  Next, they were given green paper that they had to cut in to a round shape for the leaves and glue it on the top of the tree trunk.  They were then asked to glue apples on top of the leaves.  Finally, they were asked to cut out a basket and place it on top of what they had colored green, next to the tree and fill it with apples that would be glued on the top of the basket.  They then counted the apples in the basket and wrote the number on their paper.  They were great listeners, mathematicians and artists during this activity!  I will upload a picture of the finished product to our blog tomorrow.  Stay tuned!!!
