INCLUDED (.docx and .pdf files in a zip folder): --> Full class set of 24 worksheets (each worksheet is different!) that combine to create the nutcracker mosaic -->Worksheets involve a range of right trigonometry problems that involve choosing and applying the correct primary trig ratio to solve for an unknown side or angle. --> Every worksheet contains a randomized list of answers at the bottom, allowing for student self-assessment --> Master Answer Key showing numeric solution for all worksheets If you like this product, be sure the check out , sorted by topic! The student buy-in factor is HUGE with these worksheets; they all want to see the finished picture come together! High school students love colouring too! This sure beats textbook homework! Imagine if your students were the ones policing homework completion? "Common Josh! Do your work or we'll have a hole in our picture!" Leave the picture a secret or show it for motivation… it’s your call. Encourage students to check their answers by finding them in the randomized list on their worksheet before they colour each square. This will increase the accuracy of the final picture! All my “Colouring by…” worksheets use standard pencil-crayon colours found in the Crayola 24 pack. For best results, use the exact colour name match (and encourage quality colouring!).

Build proficiency in your students' French number vocabulary with this fun collaborative colouring activity. It is different than other colour-by-number worksheets, since each student's worksheet represents only a small section of the large whole-class mosaic. The collaborative aspect of these worksheets will have THEM policing the homework completion. (Nobody wants to be responsible for the hole in the picture!) Paris and the Eiffel Tower are icons of French, and would certainly enhance your classroom hanging up on the wall! It's simple: 1) Calculate / Solve 2) Colour 3) Cut 4) Combine FOUR DIFFERENT VERSIONS INCLUDED: (.pdf and .docx format) 1) Math facts (+, - , ⨯, ÷ ) for numbers 0 –> 100, answers given in French words. **Example problems: Quarante moins Trente-et-un = ? Cinquante-quatre divisé par Trois = ? Trente-cinq plus Onze = ? 2) Basic translation from words to numerals (numbers 1 –> 100, answers given in numeral form) **Example problems: Cinquante-six Dix-neuf Zéro 3) Translation from words to numerals for large numbers (1000 – 1 000 000, answers given in numeral form) **Example problems: Deux-cent-soixante-mille-cent-quarante-quatre Soixante-mille-cent-dix-neuf Quatre-cent-quatre-vingt-mille-cinq-cent-quarante-sept 4) Word Number Patterns (Increasing or decreasing by 1s or 2s for numbers beween 0 – 100, answers given in French words.) **Example problems: Trente-neuf, Quarante, Quarante-et-un, ______ ? Vingt-et-un, Dix-neuf, Dix-sept, ______ ? Trente-deux, Trente-trois, Trente-quatre, ______ ? For each version, a number-range answer key is provided, so you can assess students' responses at a glance, or use the range to correctly colour any extra worksheets. In my experience, students are asking to complete extra sheets to see the picture completed! These worksheets apply to the vocabulary component of the grade 6 Ontario Core-French curriculum. (basic vocabulary including numbers from 1 to 100) I'd love to hear your feedback too! Enjoy! ~CalfordMath
