*Apple Estimating Have a basket of apples and have the children guess how many
apples are in the basket. Write down what they say. Count out loud the apples in the
basket and see who came the closest to guessing the apples. One little,
Two little, Three little apples Four little, Five little, Six little apples Seven little, Eight little, Nine little apples Ten little apples in all.

*Read
the book Ten Apples Up on Top By: Dr. Seuss. Take
a picture of each child in the class and make your own of Apples On Top book. Get apple
stickers or pre-cut apples and glue or stick the apples above the child’s picture like there are apples on their head.
Next at the bottom write the child’s name and how many apples are on top. Jane has 1 apple
on top.  Small Group/Child Choice: *Apple Sorting/Patterning Place a large basket of apples onto a table. Have the children sort the apples by color. See if they can tell you which group has the most apples. Have pre made apple pattern sheets, so the children can follow the pattern with the real apples, see if the children can finish each pattern. To make the pattern cards just simply make copies of the apple patterns
from the back of the lesson onto cardstock. Cut each of the pattern sheets in half and laminate for durability.
*Make
Apple Sauce Have children peel and cut apples into small pieces. Place the apples into a crock-pot,
add water, cinnamon and sugar. Cook for a few hours in the classroom so the children can enjoy the aroma.
*Apple Letter Match Set out a supply of foam letter shapes and the apple letter match mats. Give each child a letter mat and a basket of foam letters. Have the children find the letters that match their mat and place those letters under the right letter. Have them identify each letter.
*Apple
Tasting Have parent bring in a variety of apples. Cut the different varieties of apples into pieces
so that the children can taste each one. After each child has tasted the apples graph which one was the
favorite? In advance make your graphing sheet with the different types of apples at the top (red, green,
yellow). Have a batch of pre-cut apples in the different colors. When the children tell
you which one is their favorite write their name on that color apple. Have the child place it under their
favorite apple. Count out loud the number of apple under each color apple write that number at the bottom.
Which one has the most apples?
*Apple
Dice Make a couple of settees of apple dice. You can use small square boxes or wood blocks.
Place apple stickers on the dice to form the dots. When the children roll the dice have them compare
the two, does one have more or less apples? Math and Manipulative Area: Place balance scales and kitchen scales in the math area.
Add a basket of different types of apples to the area so the children can weigh, sort and make pattern with the real
apples.
