The Number Walk

Have your student take the number walk from zero to ten. As the student steps on each number, encourage them to simultaneously say the number name and the fruit name. If the counting gets ahead of the number your student is stepping on, encourage your student to go back and start over. Stepping on the number and saying the number name simultaneously is evidence of a student’s understanding of one-to-one correspondence, essential to all mathematical processes. Be sure your student’s stepping is in sync with them saying the number!

Subtract and Jump Fruits

Have students start at the end of the mat and jump on one fruit. Students will say that fruits number and name, and then jump to another fruit. Students will then subtract both of those fruits. For example, a student will jump to the apricots and say “Four apricots” then, the student might jump to banana and say “One banana. Four apricots minus one banana equals three fruits!”

Jump and Count Fruits

Have students start on the START HERE box and jump through the mat. As they jump on the fruit, have them say what the fruit is, and how many of those fruits they see. For example, students will say “One banana, two plums…”
Encourage students to take their times, and not get ahead of themselves. If they start to go too fast, have them start back over and try again.

Subtracting Fruits

In this activity, students will work on subtracting fruits together. Ask a student to count the number of one fruit, and then count another fruit. After the student counts each fruit, have them subtract the two numbers. Students can sit on the mat and point to each fruit as they count backwards to subtract. Have the student answer the question by saying the subtraction problem. For example, student A would say “There are 10 grapes and 5 strawberries. 10 minus 5 equals 5”

Example fruits to ask students to subtract:
Subtract the number of strawberries and grapes
Subtract the number of apricots and cucumber sticks
Subtract the number of plums and cherry tomatoes
Subtract the number of grapes and blueberries

Adding Fruits

In this activity students will work on adding fruits together. Ask a student to count the number of one fruit, and then count another fruit. After the student counts each fruit, have them add the total together. Students can sit on the mat and point to each of the fruits as they count adding them together. Have the student answer the question by saying the total number of both fruits. For example, student A would say “There are a total of 15 strawberries and grapes”

Example fruits to ask students to add:
Add up the number of strawberries and grapes
Add up the number of apricots and cucumber sticks
Add up the number of plums and cherry tomatoes
Add up the number of grapes and blueberries
