Color by Number
Scholastic provides an interesting twist to the typical color by number activity. This one, which has students color a computer, keyboard and monitor, combines coloring with math. For each item that is to be colored, the student must solve an arithmetic problem. The colors are represented by numbers, and the answer to each arithmetic problem tells which color is to be used. We think foreign language students might welcome this kind of activity when beginning to learn numbers. -
