What are the Fruit and Vegetable Sorting Mats?
⌄
Four pages after the cover. Page 1 is a Fruit basket mat and page 2 is a Vegetables garden box mat. Pages 3 and 4 have 24 cards to cut out, 12 fruits and 12 vegetables, such as apple, banana, grapes, carrot, corn, peas, cucumber and potato. The answer key lists all 24 cards by group and notes that cucumbers, peppers and mushrooms are eaten like vegetables.
Can I use the Fruit and Vegetable Sorting Mats at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Preschool to 1st Grade food, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Preschool to 1st Grade fruits and vegetables resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are fruits and vegetables resources for?
⌄
These are written for Preschool to 1st Grade students, roughly ages 4-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these fruits and vegetables resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Preschool to 1st Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
