About this resource
Looking for rounding color by number sheets with a number line right on the sheet? This set has 12 student sheets, 12 pictures (a train, a castle, a school bus, a rocket, a cupcake, a robot, a butterfly, a house, an umbrella, a fish, a rainbow and a sailboat), 313 numbers to round in all. The child rounds the number in each part of the picture, finds the answer in the color key, and colors that part. When the last part is colored, the picture appears. Print and go, or type into the name line.
EVERYTHING INSIDE (30 sheets)
- 12 student sheets: 12 pictures in 3 sets, 4 for the nearest 10, 4 for the nearest 100 and 4 mixed, each picture cut into 25 to 31 parts to color
- 313 numbers to round: 107 to the nearest 10, 105 to the nearest 100 and 101 on the mixed sheets
- A color key on every sheet with 5 to 7 colors, each color tied to one answer, and the color word written under every swatch so the page still works in black and white
- Within a picture, parts of the same color hold different numbers that round to the same answer (for example 76, 78, 82 and 84 all round to 80 on the train)
- 37 halfway numbers (like 45 and 450) so the 5-rounds-up rule gets practiced; 161 numbers round up and 152 stay
- A rule line and a printed number line on every sheet: a 0 to 100 line for the nearest 10, a 0 to 1000 line for the nearest 100 and both lines on the mixed sheets, with a mark at every halfway point
- A helper sheet with two modeled examples on a number line (47 to the nearest 10, 248 to the nearest 100), a halfway box and 4 to try
- 4 answer-key sheets that show every finished picture, the color key in words and every number with its rounded answer
- A tracker for all 12 sheets, a group tracker for 14 students, a filled example (an invented student) and a family sheet
- A binder cover with a spine strip, 3 divider tabs, a What's Next sheet and Start Here
Three Sets
A small circle in the top corner means the nearest 10: two-digit numbers, rounded by looking at the ones digit. A square means the nearest 100: three-digit numbers, rounded by looking at the tens digit. A triangle means mixed: every number says "to 10" or "to 100" under it, so the child reads before rounding.
How It Works
1. Pick a set and print a sheet. One short instruction on each: Round to the nearest 10 (or 100). Color by the key.
2. The child reads each part, rounds the number with the number line and the rule under the picture, finds the answer 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 a number line to point at. Nothing on a student sheet is written for an adult; the answer keys and trackers are on separate teacher sheets. Every picture is drawn from plain shapes with a ruled frame around it, and every part is big enough for a young child's crayon and holds one number.
What This Is, And What It Is Not
Who This Is For
Third and fourth grade teachers, interventionists, special education teachers and families who want rounding practice that is quiet, hands-on and ready to print, in any month of the year.
