In honor of the autumn season, I have created a number decomposing activity to help my firsties with ways to make numbers consisting of trees and leaves!!
I call it....
Number Expression Trees!!!
Yeah, not such a fancy or cutesy name, but hey! It gets the point across.

This activity involves decomposing numbers 5 through 10. Children write facts on leaves, then glue leaves to the properly numbered tree. There is a recording page for accountability.
My kids did this as a cut and paste activity where they came up with the expressions, wrote them on colored leaves, and then glued them to the right tree. I unfortunately was not there that day, but my associate teacher told me that they had so much fun! Their finished trees were so cute and so correct!!
You could also color the trees, make multiple copies of the leaves and color them, and write the facts on the leaves, then laminate the pieces and place in a center.

Let me know what you think!! Thanks!!!
