During my student teaching, I had to figure out ways to teach math to first and second grade at the same time in a fun and at the same time effective way. This activity we did during the Fall season.
I put on the board these sheets with apple trees numbered one through ten. I figured the answers could be the same for both grade/ ability levels as long as the math problems are different in level of difficulty. Again, I had students grouped based on ability or grade level while playing the game. The team with most correct answers turned in wins the game. I used the plastic cups to collect the "picked" apples.
As you can see, I had four teams with different level math problems. I found the apple sheets and trees on TPT, copied them on different color paper and wrote math problems on them. You can modify the activity in any way you want.
Kids are so competitive, they absolutely loved the activity and tried to get as many apples turned in as possible.
