Easy Charts for Apple Activities & Free Math Printable

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!

It's a recipe for FUN so be sure to follow along

These simple, DIY apple charts are a snap to make!

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! Click here to download

I hope you'll take a try at making these charts.
You can make all sorts of seasonal shapes!
