Use this for for group time instruction as well as for your autumn maths station. Students will combine numbers to create number bonds that add up to 5. This activity comes in both colorful and black and white options.

Pick from either colorful or black and white options. Make copies of the apples, pumpkins, and seeds for your students. Make an extra copy of the apples, pumpkins, and seeds; make a copy of the part, part, whole apple and the part, part, whole pumpkin. Laminate your copies. First, use either the part, part whole apple or the part, part whole pumpkin during group work. Explain parts and whole. Use a dry erase marker to write numbers that add up to 5 on the parts circles. After your students understand the concept of parts and whole and adding to make 5, give them either an apple or a pumpkin paper with number 5 number bonds. Also, give them either apple or pumpkin seeds. The seeds have numbers 0 to 5. Allow your students to cut the seeds and paste them on the empty circles of the number bonds to create 5. Help any child who needs help cutting out the seeds.

Next, cut out the apples, pumpkins, and seeds that you laminated. Stick Velcro on the empty circles of the number bonds. Stick Velcro on the back of the seeds. Place either the apple or pumpkins and the seeds in your math center. Allow children to Velcro the seeds to the empty circles of the number bonds on the pumpkin or apple to create 5 on their own.
