Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Match each numeral in the color key to the corresponding numbered region of the picture.

  • Follow a multi-step, numbered set of directions to complete a picture.

Teaching tips

  • Preview the color key with students before they begin, since the numbered color guides vary by page.

  • Since every page repeats the same instruction and format, these can be assigned individually across the ten pages without additional set-up between them.

Skills covered

  • Numeral recognition — students match each numeral in the color key (up to eleven per page) to its numbered region in the picture.

  • Following multi-step directions — students track a numbered legend across a picture with several distinct regions.

  • Fine motor coloring practice — students fill in defined regions of a picture by hand.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Does this resource use math problems to determine the colors, or a direct numbered key?

A direct numbered key — each page pairs printed numerals with a color guide for students to match, rather than equations for them to solve first.
