Easter Subitizing Color By Number Worksheets

Check out this fun Easter Subitizing Color By Number Worksheet set!

One of the most important mathematical skills in kindergarten is building number sense. This skill is critical in helping students to build a solid math foundation so that they can learn more complex concepts. One of the areas of number sense that is important to focus on is subitizing.

What is Subitizing?

 Subitizing is the skill of instantly being able to see "how many" without needing to count each one individually when numbers are represented by objects such as dots, tally marks, ten frames, or fingers being held up.

We do this with dice where we can just look at it quickly and we instantly know what number it represents without having to count each dot.

How Can Students Practice Subitizing?

There are many ways for students to practice subitizing, but, I have a fun way to do it with these color by number sheets. This set has an Easter theme, so it is perfect to use in March and April to practice those subitizing skills.

When having young students complete a color by number sheet, I often have the students color the key at the top of the page so that they can see at a glance what number goes with each color.

Because this is subitizing practice, students should be able to look at the pictures and determine the number. However, students who are still working on this skill can individually count any numbers they can't immediately recognize.

When Can I Use These Easter Subitizing Color By Number Sheets?

If you are using these color by number sheets in the classroom, you can use them as a math center, extra practice with a small group, sent home as extra practice, or even done as a whole group activity.

This set of subitizing color by number sheets comes with 6 different sets and answer keys, so you can actually use them in a variety of ways!

Where Can I Buy These Easter Subitizing Color By Number Sheets?

You can find these subitizing color by number sheets in both my Teachers pay Teachers store and my Amazon store.

How Self Grading Math Facts Tests Can Save You Time

Are you tired of grading your math fact tests by hand?  I was too!  I have a solution for you!  Self-grading Google Forms tests can save you so much time!

If you have ever taught upper elementary math, you understand just how crucial math fact fluency is!  Having those math facts memorized makes it so much easier for students to master more challenging math standards including place value, division, fractions, area and perimeter, and so much more!

Speaking of math standards, math fact fluency is right in there!

Common Core Standard 1.OA.C.6 states that students should demonstrate fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. 

Common Core Standard 2.OA.B.2 states that students should be able to "fluently add and subtract within 20" and "By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.

Common Core Standard 3.OA.C.7 tells us that "By the end of Grade 3, (students will) know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers."  

The best way that I have been able to get my students to master their math facts is with my Kicking It Math Fact Fluency program!

But, while I love the program, I must admit that I don't always love grading the fact fluency tests!  Sure, I have come up with ways to make grading these tests easier, but I still don't love it!

There had to be a better way!

Google Forms to the rescue!

Now, your entire class can take a math fact test on an Ipad, laptop, or desktop computer.  They submit their answers and immediately receive their score an can see which facts they need to practice.  You get a spreadsheet with each of their grades to let you know what facts they have mastered, and what facts they still need to work on.

Benefits of Using Google Forms to Assess Students' Math Fact Fluency

Goggle Forms are Self Grading

This may very well be the best advantage of digital math fact tests.  I have saved so many hours of time correcting math facts!

Google Forms Give Immediate Feedback

Try as I might to give students' their math fact tests back by the end of the day, it didn't always happen.  With Google Forms, students get immediate feedback. When students can see right away which math facts they missed, the feedback is so much more relevant!

Google Forms Are Paperless

Not only do you save time grading math fact tests, but you save time at the copier copying them!  No more running out at the last moment!

Google Forms Are Easy to Analyze

The results of your students quizzes can easily be converted to a spreadsheet so you can see how your students are progressing at a glance.

Self Grading Math Facts Tests 

Are you tired of grading your math facts by hand?  

You can make your own tests using Google Forms - create a quiz and use the answer key feature. But... that can be time consuming too!

Don't worry! I have you covered!  I have created sets of Digital Self-Grading Math Facts Sets that go along with my Kicking It Math resource!
