About this resource
Looking for place value color by number pages that go past tens and ones? This set has 12 student sheets: 6 pictures (a hot air balloon, a night owl, a rocket, a sailboat, a whale and a lighthouse), each at two levels, with a number task in every part of the picture and a color key under it. The child reads the task, finds the number in the key, and colors that part. When the last part is colored, the picture appears. Print and go, or type into the name line and the show-your-work box.
EVERYTHING INSIDE (27 pages)
- 12 student sheets: 6 pictures at two levels, 6 two-digit sheets and 6 three-digit sheets
- 106 number tasks in all: 53 with two digits and 53 with three digits
- The tasks: 22 tens-and-ones (like 4 tens 7 ones), 36 expanded form (like 40 + 7 and 200 + 40 + 7), 12 base-ten blocks, 20 which-number-is-greater and 16 value-of-the-underlined-digit
- A color key on every sheet with 6 to 7 colors, each color tied to one number, and the color word written under every swatch so the page still works in black and white
- Within a picture, two parts with the same color show the same number in two different ways (for example 4 tens 7 ones and 40 + 7)
- A show-your-work box on every sheet, and a blocks legend on the sheets that use blocks
- A helper page that shows one number three ways (blocks, words, expanded form), how to compare, how to find a digit's value, and three to try
- 2 answer-key pages that show every finished picture with the number in every part, plus the color key for each picture in words
- A tracker for all 12 sheets, a group tracker for 14 students, a filled example (an invented student) and a family page
- A binder cover with a spine strip, 2 divider tabs, a What's Next page and Start Here
Two Levels
A small circle in the top corner means two-digit numbers, up to 99. A square means three-digit numbers, up to 999, including numbers with a zero in the tens place, like 1 hundred 0 tens 5 ones or 100 + 5. The same pictures come in both levels with different numbers and a different key, so two students can color the same picture at their own level.
Six Pictures, Five Kinds Of Task
The balloon, owl and rocket pages mix tens and ones, expanded form and blocks. The sailboat asks for the value of an underlined digit. The whale asks which number is greater. The lighthouse mixes four of the tasks for a review page. The 12 block tasks are on the owl, rocket and lighthouse sheets: tens rods and ones cubes at two digits, flats, rods and cubes at three digits.
How It Works
1. Pick a level and print a page. One short instruction on each: Find each number. Color by the key.
2. The child reads each part, finds the number in the key, and colors that part.
3. Check with the answer key, and write the date and how many were right on the tracker.
Built For The Child Holding The Page
A big "My name" line, big numbers, big color swatches and room to work. Nothing on a student page is written for an adult; the answer keys and trackers are on separate teacher pages. Every picture is drawn from plain shapes, so the parts are large enough for a young child's crayon.
What This Is, And What It Is Not
Who This Is For
Second and third grade teachers, interventionists, special education teachers and families who want place value practice that is quiet, hands-on and ready to print, in any month of the year.
