Using such manipulatives are great ways to sneak in working on fine motor control and finger dexterity.
The Apple Tree Number Math Printable consists of an Apple Tree Number board and two sheets of small apple cards with matching numbers.
Most likely, it would be a good idea to at least laminate the apple cards so they do not get ripped or crumbled... and then you could do this activity again throughout the fall to continue working on math skills like number recognition.
Once the cards are printed and laminated, cut each apple card out. Either leave them in numerical order, or mix them up!
How to Use this Apple Math Printable
Have the child grab an apple card and find the number on the apple tree.
The apple cards consist of red, green, and yellow apples.
You could have the child place the same color glass gem
on the apple tree as on the apple card. For instance, the child draws a number 4 red apple and then places a red gem on the apple tree where he/ she finds the number 4.
on the apple tree as on the apple card. For instance, the child draws a number 4 red apple and then places a red gem on the apple tree where he/ she finds the number 4.
Continue until all the numbers in the apple tree are covered.

Another way to use this playful apple math printable is for calendar time the month of September!
For each day, have the child find the number and use a Do A Dot to color it in and then place the apple card in a pocket chart
