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.

In the activity, the pre-k and kindergarten students focus on adding numbers 5–9 with the abacus.

This activity helps with number sense and solidifies the number relationships. Students will be able to visualize adding numbers; they will also see items becoming more. This also introduces students to decomposing numbers. This resource also has fun activities, like a game of who wins, color by number, puzzles, and a maze

In this activity, we are adding numbers 5–9. This is contained in one column of the abacus and all the bottom beads. Abacus is easy to understand; it promotes tactile learning.

The abacus used has 1 bead on top and 4 beads on the bottom. This activity focuses on the top bead (has a value of 5) and the bottom beads (has a value of 1 for each bead).

All the bottom beads have a value of 1, and the top bead has a value of 5.

Counting and coloring Numbers 0 to 4 on the abacus in a maze. These number sense mazes are perfect for pre-k and kindergarten to gain awareness of the numbers 0–4. Students practice number recognition on both the numeral and the abacus. This also encourages students to subitize and use number sense.

There are 4 different mazes, and answer key.

What is subitizing?

Subitizing is the ability to quickly recognize the number of objects in a small group without counting them individually. It's essentially the ability to perceive the quantity of objects at a glance. This skill is particularly evident with small numbers, typically up to around 5 or 6 objects in this activity, 0–4.

What is number sense?

Number sense is the ability to identify and conceptualize numbers, like 1, 2, 3. The activity helps compare the abacus beads with the numerals.
