This material helps children develop math skills through the Apple Tree Game. It can be played by multiple players. When playing with this material, children develop concepts in quantity recognition, more-than and less-than relationships, simple combinations of numbers, as well as fundamentals of addition and subtraction. The game has different levels of complexity, making it possible for the children to develop skills in a series of steps. The Apple Tree Game can be played by two or more players.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe simplest game begins by placing all the apples on the tree. Each player takes turns throwing a die and removing the required number of apples from the tree, until all apples are removed. \u003cbr\u003eAlternatively the apples can be divided evenly among the players, then each player take turns (with 1 or 2 dice depending on the ability of the children) to see who can get all their apples on the tree first. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChildren can also develop their own rules.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApple \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePackage Size and Weight: 38cm x 24cm x 3.5cm, 0.18kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eRecommended Age Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenerally suitable for ages 3–6 with adult supervision; may extend based on readiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eKey Learning Outcomes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages number recognition and sequencing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports focus, concentration, and problem solving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds confidence with early numeracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eHow It’s Used\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace the material on a child-sized table or mat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvite the child to explore counting or matching activities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourage independent repetition for mastery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eTips for Home Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake maths playful by integrating counting into daily routines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotate activities to maintain interest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Safety Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAlways exercise extreme caution and care, never leave a child unattended and without adequate supervision with any of the equipment or material advertised on our website and catalogue.
