There are many different ways you can use my color-by-number activities.
Here are some ideas to help you utilize this resource.
SUGGESTED USES OF MY COLOR BY NUMBERS:
1. Use as a classroom assignment when you have time to spare
2. Give to early finishers who need a challenge
3. Assign as homework
4. Use as a fun sub lesson
5. Use as a quiz
6. Give to students who have ISS (In School Suspension)
7. Give to students during a long station activity. Students who finish
their station early can work on the color-by-number. This will help
stations flow and minimize behavior problems due to idle time.
8. Save for Fun Fridays or Rainy Days
9. Make it a fun group challenge. See below for directions.

GROUP CHALLENGE DIRECTIONS:

1. Copy the question sheet and blank coloring page front to back.
2. Announce to students:
• “You will be receiving a paper that includes questions regarding
the Metric System. Your job is to work in teams to correctly
answer the questions. It is important that you discuss each
question as a team. Everybody will receive their own question
sheet, but all team members should have the exact same
answers. If you do not know an answer, make your best
educated guess. The team with the most questions answered
correctly will get a prize!”
3. Pass one assignment to each student and send them to their team
(either assigned or let them choose their teammates). I recommend
teams of 3-4 students.
4. Give the class approximately 20-30 minutes to complete the
questions.
5. Once time is up, tell students to get out a pen and review the correct
answers. I would just allow students to grade their own papers but
emphasize that it is important for them to grade honestly.
6. You can give the team with the most correct answers a prize such as
early to lunch passes, extra credit, or whatever reward you have on
hand.
