3rd Grade Holidays/Seasonal Montessori

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!
