From counting apples to packing crates

Open the Sheet type menu and pick a sheet under your grade. Kindergarten counts apples and leaves in pictures, then adds acorns within 10. Grade 1 adds geese landing on a pond and takes leaves off a paper tree. Grade 3 multiplies and shares: 6 benches with 4 riders each, or 56 pumpkins loaded 8 to a wagon. Grade 4 decides what a remainder means: 52 riders on wagons of 8 need 7 wagons. Choose 4, 6 or 8 under Problems, press Make a new sheet, then Print. The answer key follows on its own page.

For apple math worksheets, pick Apple crates in kindergarten, Apple and monarch facts to multiply in grade 3, or Apple crate multiplication in grade 4.
For pumpkin math worksheets, pick Pumpkin wagon division in grade 3, Pumpkin patch addition within 1,000, or Pumpkin farm multiplication in grade 5.

Questions and answers

When does fall start in 2026?

Astronomical fall starts at the September equinox: September 22, 2026 in every time zone of the 50 states. In 2027 it is September 23, or late on September 22 from Pacific time west. On the weather calendar, fall is September 1 to November 30.

What fall math can kindergarten do?

Start with the two picture sheets: pupils count apples in two rows, or leaves in two piles, and write how many in all. Then read the acorn and pumpkin stories within 10 aloud and act them out with real acorns.

How many seed chambers does an apple have?

Usually five, though some apples have as few as three. Cut one across the middle and count them. The grade 3 fact sheet uses five, so 8 apples have 40 seed chambers.

All 20 sheet types

Kindergarten 4

Acorn and pumpkin addition stories within 10 3 acorns under the oak and 4 by the fence are 7 acorns. Real acorns or counters make the two groups.
Apple crates: count how many apples in all 4 apples in one row and 3 in the next make 7 apples. Pupils cross out each apple as they count it.
Falling apple subtraction stories within 10 9 apples hang on a little tree and 3 drop, so 6 still hang. Pupils can draw the tree and cross apples out.
Leaf piles: count how many leaves in all 5 leaves and 2 leaves are 7 leaves. Ask which row has more before anyone counts.

Grade 1 3

Paper tree subtraction stories within 20 A paper tree has 14 leaves and 6 fall off, so 8 stay on. Some stories compare and some hide the part that left.
Pond and orchard addition stories within 20 7 geese on the pond and 5 more make 12 geese. Every sum passes ten, so make a ten first: 7 + 3 + 2.
Three squirrels: add three numbers Three squirrels bury 7, 3 and 5 acorns, which is 15. Find the pair that makes ten, 7 + 3, then add 5.

Grade 2 2

Hay ride addition stories within 100 38 riders in the morning and 27 in the afternoon make 65 riders. Add the ones first: 8 + 7 = 15, so carry a ten.
Leaf bag subtraction stories within 100 Oak Street raked 72 bags and Elm Street raked 45, so Elm Street raked 27 fewer. Compare stories use subtraction too.

Grade 3 5

Apple and monarch facts to multiply An apple usually has five seed chambers, so 8 apples have 40. The fixed number is written as a word inside the story.
Cider mill subtraction within 1,000 A mill filled 600 jugs and sold 245, so 355 are left. Subtracting from a number with zeros is the hard step.
Orchard rows and wagon benches: multiplication stories 6 benches with 4 riders on each is 24 riders. Rows and benches are equal groups, so pupils can draw an array.
Pumpkin patch addition within 1,000 A patch sold 245 pumpkins in September and 378 in October, which is 623. Estimate first: about 250 + 380 = 630.
Pumpkin wagon division stories within 100 56 pumpkins loaded 8 to a wagon fill 7 wagons. Check with the matching fact: 7 × 8 = 56.

Grade 4 4

Apple bag division: divide by 1 digit 144 apples packed in bags of 6 fill 24 bags. Split 144 into 120 and 24, then divide each part by 6.
Apple crate multiplication: 2 digits by 1 digit 6 crates of 36 apples hold 216 apples. Split 36: 6 × 30 = 180 and 6 × 6 = 36, then add.
Cider jugs and hay wagons: what happens to the remainder? 52 riders on wagons of 8 need 7 wagons: 52 ÷ 8 = 6 R 4, and the last 4 riders still need a seat.
Times as many: squirrel and blue jay stories A squirrel buried 8 acorns and a blue jay hid 5 times as many, which is 40. Draw one bar of 8, then five of them.

Grade 5 2

Orchard harvest division: divide by 2 digits An orchard packs 432 apples into crates of 24 and fills 18 crates. Estimate first: 400 ÷ 20 = 20.
Pumpkin farm multiplication: 2 digits by 2 digits 32 rows of 25 pumpkin plants is 800 plants. Two partial products, 32 × 20 = 640 and 32 × 5 = 160, add to the answer.

How this list was compiled: The stories, their wording and the teaching notes are our own work. The numbers are drawn fresh for every sheet and each answer key is worked out from the numbers printed on that sheet. Two nature facts are used, both checked on 2026-09-20: an apple usually has five seed chambers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple) and an adult monarch butterfly flies at about 6 miles an hour (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch_butterfly). Grade labels follow the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, read on 2026-09-20 in the California Department of Education copy, https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/documents/ccssmathstandardaug2013.pdf.
