Two pages after the cover. Page 1 is a 12-color wheel poster with each color labeled P for primary, S for secondary or T for tertiary, plus how each is mixed. Page 2 is a blank wheel to color, with mixing facts to finish, such as red + yellow = and blue + red =, and a favorite mix. The answer key shows the finished wheel.
Can I use the Color Wheel Poster: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Colors at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 3rd Grade colors, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten to 3rd Grade color wheel resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are color wheel resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 3rd Grade students, roughly ages 5-9. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these color wheel resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 3rd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
