Color Mixing

Worksheet Description

The worksheet titled “Mixing Colors” presents an activity where students are to color in blank circles to show the result of mixing two different colored circles. Each row shows two colored circles followed by a plus sign and an equal sign, leading to an empty circle that students are meant to fill in. The colors provided are green and yellow, red and yellow, blue and red, and blue and red again, possibly indicating a mistake in repetition. The exercise is set up to resemble simple addition problems, using colors instead of numbers.

This worksheet is teaching students about the basic principles of color mixing, specifically how primary colors combine to create secondary colors. By filling in the blank circles with the appropriate secondary color, students learn that green and yellow make yellow-green, red and yellow make orange, and blue and red make purple. The repeated pairing of blue and red offers an opportunity for reinforcement of the color mixing concept. This activity also enhances fine motor skills through the act of coloring and encourages students to recall and apply knowledge of color theory.
