Apple Harvest Math Center | Counting, Comparing & Measuring

Make an apple unit into a hands-on math center with this printable set for preschool and pre-K. Children can count on mats, compare groups of apples, sort by size, and explore measuring height, length, and width.

Set out the mats and counters for small-group activities, then use the worksheets and recording sheet to revisit the ideas on paper. The number lines and matching cards give children more ways to practice early math skills.
