A free printable is provided for 12 trees as well as the math worksheet for subtraction and addition. For younger children, use the trees with numbers as a counting tool. Children can punch holes to equal the number listed on the tree. This is also a perfect opportunity to practice fine motor skills as well with cutting and hole punching.
Give older children a challenge by seeing how many ways they can use the 12 trees to create the math formulas. Children can create a game of speed, challenging each other.
