Apple Orchard

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a counting activity where students are required to fill in missing numbers on apples, counting backward from 50 to 1. The apples are arranged in descending numerical order, with some numbers already filled in to provide guidance. The task involves recognizing the pattern of the counting sequence and identifying the numbers that come before the ones given. This format allows students to practice backward counting in increments of one, using the visual aid of numbered apples.

The worksheet is designed to strengthen students’ understanding of backward counting sequences and number recognition. It encourages them to think critically about the numerical order and the relationship between successive numbers. By actively filling in the gaps, students reinforce their mental arithmetic skills, particularly in subtraction. This exercise also serves as a foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts involving larger numbers and counting patterns.
