Easy Charts for Apple Activities & Free Math Printable

September 18 By Linda Kamp 2 Comments

September is always a festival of apple activities in my classroom! There are so many fun ways to incorporate apples across the curriculum. Over the next couple of weeks I’ll share some of my favorite apple themed ideas for every subject that are always a hit!

Easy Reusable Apple Charts

These simple, DIY apple charts are a snap to make! I use them for all sorts of things and my class loves to write on them.

Making The Chart Is Easy

Draw an apple shape as large or as small as you need on red butcher paper.  Add a stem and leaf with construction paper and laminate it as one piece. Write on and wipe off with Mr. Sketch markers.

I’ve found that Mr. Sketch markers work the best on laminated charts.  Since they’re a water color base, they wipe off easily with a damp paper towel. No more smudgy charts!

One of the ways I use my chart is to post an apple related problem of the day.

Students solve this problem on whiteboards or in their math journals by drawing the strategy they used, showing a second strategy they could use, writing a math problem,and then an answer statement.  I make sure to have them restate the question in their answers.

If you don’t use math journals or just need something for a sub, I’ve put together an editable problem of the day math printable you can use.  To create a file of word problems, insert a duplicate slide into the editable PowerPoint and add a new problem.  Be sure to save it so that next year, you’ll be all set!
