Fall Color by Code Math is a set of 40 differentiated color by number worksheets for kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade. It is built on one simple idea: the whole class colors the same picture, while each student solves problems that match their own math level.
There are five fall pictures: a Back-to-School Owl, a Scarecrow, a Jack-o'-Lantern Night scene, a Thanksgiving Turkey and a Fall Tree. Together they carry you from September through November, with natural fits for Halloween math and Thanksgiving math.
Each picture comes in eight skill levels. Students can match numbers from 0 to 10 or 11 to 20, read number words from 1 to 10, add to 10 or 20, subtract within 10 or 20, or practice doubles and near doubles. That range covers early number recognition all the way to addition and subtraction fact fluency.
A teacher guide with placement suggestions helps you decide where each child should start, and a 5-week differentiated study plan shows how to move through the pictures and levels. Full-color answer keys for every picture make checking quick, even when students are working on different levels.
The worksheets are black and white for easy printing, across 50 PDF pages. Use them for fall math centers, morning work, early finishers, small groups, intervention, independent practice, homework, homeschool and sub plans.
