  • Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and a mixed page
  • Pictures on tiles, dots, and honeycomb hexagons
  • Color names written as words, so the pages print in black and white

Skills Covered

  • Add and subtract within 20
  • Multiply and divide within 100
  • Compare an answer to a rule
  • Use "greater than", "less than" and "from ... to"
  • Follow multi-step directions
  • Fine motor control while coloring

How to Use This Pack

Every space holds a fact. Students solve it, check the answer against the color rules (like "Color the facts with an answer greater than 15 red."), and color the space. Page 1 is addition, page 2 subtraction, page 3 multiplication, page 4 division, and page 5 mixes all four. The pictures: a turkey, an apple, a pumpkin, an acorn, and an ear of corn.

In the Classroom

Pick the pages that fit each student: 1st and 2nd graders can do pages 1 and 2, 3rd graders pages 3 to 5. Students can write small answers in the spaces before coloring. The answer keys shade each color in its own strength of blue.

At Home

Let your child solve a row, then color it, so the picture grows bit by bit. If a space looks wrong once the picture appears, solve that fact again together.

Tips for Success

  • Solve first, then color
  • Some spaces fit no rule: leave them white (the turkey's eyes are two of them)
  • "From 9 to 12" includes 9 and 12
  • Save the coloring of the pictures at the bottom for last
