Apple Seek and Find Shape Sorting Worksheets

August 12, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Early learners will love practicing shape recognition with these apple shapes worksheets for preschool!
Use these apple shape sorting worksheets to help early learners practice recognizing the four basic shapes with a fun fall theme!

Do you remember how old you were when you first learned how to recognize shapes?

I remember learning about the octagon in particular, because I started looking for STOP signs just so I could say “octagon” and feel really smart.

When you’re teaching preschool, shapes are a critical math skill to cover. The great thing is that learning shapes is a pretty fun activity already, so you don’t have to worry about making it fun.

But if you’d like to add a little more hands-on learning to this objective, these apple-themed shapes worksheets for preschool are a great way to do it!

How to Use Shape Sorting Worksheets with Early Learners

There are a few ways you can use these shape sorting printables with your students.

Kindergarten Shape Sorting Worksheets

Begin by asking if anyone can identify the shape on the apple in the top left of the worksheet.

Then introduce students to the shape word on the page. You can even have the class spell it out loud.

Ask how they could tell the difference between those shapes and the shape they were seeking for that worksheet.

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

August 13, 2015 by Selena Robinson 9 Comments

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

One of Pooh’s objectives this year is to learn to work with arrays.

When I was in school, we weren’t using arrays. We were memorizing addition and multiplication facts back then.

Now, though, arrays are an important (and helpful) way to understand adding and multiplying.

So I put together a math product: Apple Arrays! – A fun, apple-themed way to have array practice for second grade!

Help kids learn to use arrays when adding with these printable apple addition arrays for second grade!

By the way, be sure to check out our Apple Orchard Playdough Counting Mat for your toddlers and preschoolers!

How to Use Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

I have to admit that when Pooh saw that there were multiplication problems on the sheet, his reaction was “TIMES TABLES????”

It was a dramatic moment, for sure.

But I used the first few pages to introduce him to using arrays with addition.

And then we talked about how addition with arrays is the same as multiplication.

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

This product focuses just on working with 5’s from 5+0 to 5+5+5, so you can use it to introduce times tables from 5×1 to 5×5.

The first set of pages contains apple arrays and written addition and multiplication problems.

Pooh and I looked at each row and column in the arrays to understand why we write those particular addition and multiplication equations to represent them.

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

Count out the number of apples in each row to find your first addend.

Then count the number of rows to find the second. Simple!

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

After he went through and solved the first set of problems, we used the second set of pages.

These pages have the apple arrays and addition/multiplication problems, but kids have to read the array correctly to fill in the addends/multiplicand/multiplier.

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

Which he did on his own!

He was so excited to grasp how to read arrays and relate them to multiplying that as soon as Jay came in the door, he said “Dad! I learned how to do times today!”

Another one of those homeschooling gifts I’m thrilled to share with them this year.
