Apple Number Smash Activity

Make number practice a little more fun with this Apple Number Smash activity! Students will choose a number card, find the matching number on the apple and cover it with play dough.

Two ready-to-use options are included for numbers 0–10 and 0–20. An editable PDF is also included, allowing you to type in your own numbers and create a custom activity based on what your students are currently practicing. You can even repeat numbers to focus on just a few at a time.

No play dough? No problem! Students can also cover the numbers with bingo chips, pom-poms, mini erasers or other small manipulatives you already have on hand.

Perfect for math centers, small groups, morning tubs or independent practice. Laminate the apple mat and cards to use them again and again throughout your apple theme or fall activities.

Supplies Needed

  • Printed Apple Number Smash mat and number cards
  • Laminator and laminating sheets
  • Scissors
  • Play dough
  • Optional: Bingo chips, pom-poms, mini erasers or other small manipulatives
