Fall is the perfect time to bring seasonal fun into your math lessons, and what better way than with this adorable Apple Tree Addition printable! Designed especially for students who are mastering their addition facts through 10, this hands-on activity helps young learners build foundational addition skills in an engaging and memorable way.
What’s Included
This printable features:
- Blank apple tree templates, which can be assembled into a book or left individually.
- Cut-out apples with addition facts (sums up to 10)
Students will love “picking” the right apples and “hanging” them on their trees as they solve each math fact.
How to Use the Printable
- Print and Cut – Print out the apple trees and apples. You may want to laminate them for durability if you plan to reuse them.

- Extension Idea – Hide the apples around the room and turn it into an apple hunt before solving the facts!
