Coloring Leaves

Worksheet Description

This worksheet combines a coloring activity with a place value exercise. It presents a collection of leaves, each with a three-digit number written on it. One digit in each number is underlined, and students are instructed to color the leaves according to a key: green for ones, yellow for tens, and red for hundreds. The goal is to identify the place value of the underlined digit and color the leaf accordingly.

The worksheet is designed to teach students to recognize and understand the place value of digits in numbers. By associating colors with place values, it adds a visual and kinesthetic element to the learning process, which can help students retain the information better. This activity not only reinforces the concept of place value but also makes learning interactive and enjoyable. Through this exercise, students enhance their ability to quickly identify the ones, tens, and hundreds places, which is a crucial foundational math skill.
