How Many Apples Up on Top?- APPLE MATH

We started our apple week Monday with Dr. Seuss' Ten Apples Up on Top. We looked at several kinds of apples together, from big red delicious apples, to bright golden delicious, to teeny tiny crab apples. Then, we each made a page for our own class book. After pulling a number out of a can, we decorated the numeral and made a corresponding number of apple prints on top of our picture. The book has been enjoyed at reading time in class!

We continued our apple counting with ordering numbers 0-5, and making sets to match with some wiggly worms.

Apples helped us out with some measuring, too! Wednesday, we used apples as our unit of measure when checking the height of all our friends.

After measuring our bear puppet, we found it was easier to lay the flamingo down and measure flat on the floor. This seemed like a good idea for measuring each other too. Stacking apples is very hard!

  

We worked on counting in our pocket chart by spinning a number on the wheel, and putting a matching tower of apples above our picture.

We practiced counting and color words while making our apple books.

We graphed apple numbers too! We had a taste test on Monday, and graphed our results. We also graphed how many students were 14, 15 or 16 apples tall. We counted each row, and compared results to talk about the concepts and vocabulary of more/ less, greater/ fewer, and most/ least.

In non-apple related news, we had 2 special events! One of our friends had a birthday, and we were visited by some feathery friends when Ms. Rory brought her chickens in for us to see and pet.
