Math Story Pocket Chart for Fall

By Karen Cox | Affiliate Disclosure | Filed Under: Forest Theme, Math

Here’s a preschool-friendly way to do math story problems with kids. My class actually loves these. Here are two Fall-themed math story problems you can print and cut to use in your pocket chart.

Fall Story Problem Pocket Charts

I use these during large group time, and they are about a 5-minute activity which integrates math and literacy. You can extend these by changing the numbers, and doing them again.

Fall Story Problem #1

Download: Apple Math Pocket Chart

I used tape to attach the apples to the baskets, but you could also use Velcro. I read the sentences to the children, while pointing to the words in a left-to-right direction. I point out the numerals and ask children to identify them. The leader helps place the clipart pieces in the chart. We read the chart a second time to review and check to see if we represented it correctly.

Fall Story Problem #2

We start with 7 acorns…

Then, we take 3 acorns out…

If you like these, I have a set of 20 Math Story Problem Pocket Charts for Fall for sale on Teachers Pay Teachers. The set includes all of the printable sentences as well as all of the clipart you will need. {The 2 pocket charts above are actually 2 freebies from the set.}

    I bought the set on Teachers Pay Teachers and the 2 4 year olds I work with love them. Please tell me you are going to make a winter set with some Christmassy theme to it! I would definitely purchase that!

    Hi, Karen. I am a district instructional support specialist and I work with PreK-5th grade. I love your site because your ideas are developmentally appropriate and encourage hands-on, minds-on, engaging ways to help kiddos interact with ideas so they can make connections and talk about what they are learning. I recommend your site often. I would like to ask permission to use screen captures of the two Fall Math Story Problems you show on your site – giving full credit to you, of course – in upcoming work with district teachers on how to encourage more math talk and modeling in their PreK math classes. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas, photos, and teaching philosophy!
