Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a straightforward and engaging counting activity focused on apples within two baskets. The vibrant illustration invites children to examine the baskets and count the total number of apples. With the clear title “COUNT APPLES” at the top, the objective is self-explanatory, making it accessible for young learners. There is a space provided, presumably for students to write down the number of apples they have counted, though it is not visible in the image.

The worksheet is designed to help students practice their counting skills by enumerating the apples in the baskets. It encourages careful observation and attention to detail, as the apples are overlapping and require concentration to count accurately. The task of writing down the number they have counted aids in number recognition and reinforces the connection between the counted objects and numerical symbols. This simple yet effective exercise also serves as an introduction to addition if the students count the apples in each basket separately and then combine the totals.
