*Color by Code Freebie at the end of this blog post*
Bring art into your math block with no-prep Color by Code activities. Each activity is a low-risk, highly engaging way for students to practice mathematics. Choose from Print & Go, Task Cards, or Digital Coloring Activities.
Why Color By Code?
- Low-Risk – Students answer multiple choice questions.
- Highly Engaging – Not just another worksheet, students are excited to see an image revealed!
- No Prep! – Need I say more?
- Early Finishers – Add to students’ folders as an option for students.
- Sub Plans – Students and substitutes will enjoy these coloring activities while you are away.
First, Choose an Option!
Print & Go! Color by Code
Simply print the Mystery Picture and Questions pages.
Students will use their answers to color the picture.
Teacher tip: Print 2 to a page and you have instant interactive math notebooks!
Create Color by Code Task Cards
Have some extra time? Print Task Cards on colored cardstock to create long-lasting centers.
Students can work in small groups, taking turns with the cards to color their mystery pictures.
Assign Digitally with Google Forms
Looking to save paper altogether? Assign Color by Code activities digitally with the Google Forms version which gives students instant feedback.
Next, Let’s Get Organized!
Organize Task Cards:
Print on colored paper & laminate to create reusable, long-lasting centers students will love!
Teacher Tip: This is a great project to give to a parent volunteer to save you tons of time. Print & laminate the task cards, then have a volunteer cut, organize, and label photo boxes for you.
If you don’t have photo boxes, you can use plastic baggies, or punch holes in the top of each task card and attach a binder ring to keep sets together.
Easily create interactive notebook activities.
Change your printer settings to print 2 pages at a time. This is the perfect size for composition notebooks, and it saves paper & ink!
Cut and paste in math journals and use task cards for an instant interactive notebook practice!
If you don’t have time for task cards, just print the questions on half sheets too!
