Teachers, save “Maths Problem of the day” to assign it to your class.

Read the problem carefully and show me how you solve it. Problem: There are 5 apple trees in the orchard. There are 2 apples on some trees and 5 apples on some trees. Show how many apples there might be altogether? Show me your thinking. How did you count all the apples? Is there another way you could count them?
