Fall is such a fun time of the year and the Apple Theme is one of my favorites during this season! There are SO many fun activities you can do with young learners to go with the this theme. This bundle has a few different activities that are both hands on and fun. Below is a list of what math activities are included in this bundle.

Complete The Pattern Activity:

There are #113 different apple patterns ranging from simple to more complex for your students to identify and create. There are #6 different apple colors that are included in these patterns. This activity is perfect to include during rotations and center times. I would laminate the pattern pages as well as the apple pieces for better durability.

Play-doh Mats & Ten Frames:

Who doesn't love play-doh?? And what better way is there than incorporating early math concepts and counting into some play-doh fun. These play-doh mats have both numbers that your students can practice identifying and forming with play-doh as well as ten frames for them to practice one-to-one correspondence and counting. I promise this activity will not disappoint! The play-doh mats include numbers 1-10.

Count & Match File Folder Game:

File folder games are so convenient and easy to put together for your student's independent activities. This file folder game has #2 pages of apple baskets with numbers 1-10 on them that you will attach to a file folder. There are also counting cards with different numbers of apples on them for your students to count the amount of apples and match it to the corresponding number.

Apple Counting Book | Mini Readers:

There is #2 pages of colorful apples as well as black and white apples. You can have your student’s practice holding scissors and cut the apples out or if they are not ready for that step you can cut them out yourself as well. Once the apples are cut out they will read the sentence and then glue the correct amount of apples to each tree. There is a black and white apple tree book (that you can have your student’s color) as well as a colorful one as well depending on which one you would like to use.

At the end of either book the last page also has an area where they read how many apples should be on each line and then draw the correct amount of apples according to what the number says.This bundle of activities will be a great addition to your math center during this season! Please let me know if you have any comments and/or questions!

Do your kindergarten and first-grade students write their letters from the bottom up? Help your students (left-handed kids included!) learn correct letter formation with these uppercase and lowercase letter tracing cards. These cards isolate the skill of letter formation so children develop the muscle memory needed to write the alphabet correctly.

It's impossible for teachers to watch over every letter their students are writing and it's easy for them to develop bad habits. These printable cards are Montessori-inspired and self-correcting so your students can be as independent as possible and you don't have to worry that they are starting from the bottom. All you have to do is teach them to start the letter on the green dot and finish on the red dot.

NOTE: You can see exactly what you will get (i.e. the entire resource) by clicking on the preview buttons.

Here are five reasons this resource will make things easier for you in your classroom:

1. The cards are easy to prepare. Only two cuts on each page and cutting lines are included.
2. Children can work independently with the cards. The green and red dots help them start and end correctly.
3. Different versions are included to suit your needs: no arrows, arrows for right-handed kids, arrows for left-handed kids, and a version with thicker lines, which you can use to make your own Montessori Sandpaper Letters.
4. Cards indicate the type of letter (tall, small, fall) so you can introduce them based on difficulty.
5. The cards match all of my other Printing and Pre-Writing resources so you can be consistent in your teaching.

What's Included In This Bundle:

- Alphabet Play-doh Mats (Uppercase & lowercase Letters Aa-Zz)

- Number Play-doh Mats With Ten Frames

- Trace It, Color It, Write It Alphabet Book - Writing Center

- Alphabet Letter & Number Tracing Cards - Writing Center

- Matching Game ( Shapes - Letters - Numbers)

- Clothes Pin Clip Task Cards | Letter & Number Matching

More Information On Each Item:

The Alphabet Play-doh Mats have both Uppercase and lowercase Letters. This activity is great for not only hands on learning through play but also to help your students practice forming each letter of the alphabet. Each play-doh mat also has a picture of an item that starts with that letter.

The Number Play-doh mats also have ten frames on them. This helps your students practice counting and one-to-one correspondence.

The Alphabet book is great for your literacy center and writing practice. Each page has both the Uppercase and lowercase letter on it. The students color, trace, and then practice writing each Uppercase and lowercase letter of the alphabet.

The Matching Game has Uppercase and lowercase letter matching practice as well as number and shape cards. The number cards have a matching card with the corresponding number of apple seeds on each one. This helps students practice counting and one-to-one correspondence.

The letter tracing cards are also another great way for your students to practice writing each Uppercase and lowercase letter as well as numbers 1-10.

The Clothes Pin Clip task cards are a great fall-themed learning activity. There are both pumpkin-themed letter cards as well as number cards.

Each letter task card has an Uppercase letter on the pumpkin as well as #3 different lowercase letters on the right side of the card to choose from. Your students will then clip a clothespin on the correct lowercase letter that matches the letter on the pumpkin. This is a great fine motor activity as well as a great way to practice matching Uppercase and lowercase letters together. Each number task card has a different amount of pumpkins from 1-10 on it. The students will count how many pumpkins are on each card and then attach a clothespin to the matching number on the right.

I hope you and your students love these products as much as I loved creating them!

Introduce your Kindergarten or Lower Elementary students to numeral and quantity with the Montessori Bead Stair (also called the Short Bead Stair).

Here are three reasons this resource will make things easier for you in the classroom:

1. The booklets are super easy to make and instructions are included.
2. You get five different versions of the Bead Stair booklets and five different versions of the Teens booklets to differentiate your instruction or for providing extra practice.
3. Your students will be more engaged than if they were doing the same activity on a worksheet.

Do you have students who aren't quite ready to print the alphabet, but they're ready for some pre-writing practice? Help your students develop their fine motor skills and learn correct letter formation with these pre-writing activities. Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten children have fun using these tracing cards and booklets (so much more fun than worksheets!) to practice all of the strokes used in uppercase and lowercase letters, without actually writing the letters.

Practice with these prewriting cards will make it easy for your students to later transition to the Alphabet Tracing Cards.

These printable activities are Montessori-inspired and self-correcting so your students can be as independent as possible. All you have to do is teach them to start on the green dot and finish on the red dot.

NOTE: You can see exactly what you will get (i.e. the entire resource) by clicking on the preview buttons.

Here are three reasons this resource will make things easier for you in your classroom:

The teen numbers can be tricky, but the Montessori Math approach can help! If you love the Montessori Teen Boards you’ll also love these math booklets as a fun extension activity. Students will get a lot of practice making and comparing teen numbers with these 8 easy to prep booklets. Classroom teachers can make a whole class set in no time, and homeschoolers, there’s a special version for you so you only have to make one copy of each booklet. 

Each booklet increases in difficulty and can be used with the Teen Boards and the Montessori Bead Stair to introduce and reinforce numbers 11–19. Note that number 10 is addressed in the Golden Bead Booklets and 0–9 are introduced in the Colored Bead Stair Booklets.

What’s included:

• 1 PDF with teacher information (preparation and basic presentation suggestions) to help you get this lesson up and running as soon as possible
• 2 PDFs with the homeschool-friendly version of the 8 booklets (you only have to print each booklet once)
• 2 PDFs with full-color answer keys so your children can check their work independently
• 8 PDFs with the classroom version of the 8 booklets (you can print 4 copies of a booklet at once making it easier to prep class sets)

Your students will so love making their booklets (compared to doing worksheets) that they won’t even realize how much they’re learning. Of course you, as their teacher, will be overjoyed when they finally stop inverting the digits in the teen numbers and when they grasp the idea that the teens are just a ten with some units!

Do you have pre-school students who aren't quite ready to print the alphabet, but they are ready for some printing practice with pre-writing strokes? Or maybe your kindergarten and first grade students are still writing their letters from the bottom up and they need a self-correcting handwriting activity so you don't have to watch their every move?

All you have to do is teach them to start the letter on the green dot and finish on the red dot.
