Apples, colors, and everyday math

An apple-picking outing becomes a simple sorting puzzle when Manny, Olivia, and Mei group their apples by color—and encounter one that belongs to all three groups. The orchard setting connects early mathematical ideas of sorting and classifying with a shared activity and friendship. Part of the Storytelling Math series, the book also invites children and grown-ups to explore everyday math together through stories and hands-on activities.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Prereaders and preschoolers beginning to explore colors and sorting.
  • Families looking for a story to prompt hands-on math activities together.
  • Young children who enjoy orchard and apple-picking themes.
