Back to School Math Coloring Pages | 70 Sheets | First Week Math Activities

Back to School Math Coloring Pages bring 70 printable sheets of calculators, rulers, and simple sums to the opening weeks of the school year. The math stays light, so no student feels tested on day one.

A calculator anchors many of the pages, its keypad laid out as rows of small squares and its screen curved into a smile. Beside it you find the measuring tools: a triangular set square with hatch marks down one edge, a semicircular protractor with tick marks around the curve, a ruler. Lined worksheet paper appears with one corner folded over and a face on the blank space. Operation symbols are characters here rather than marks, so the plus sign has eyes and the multiplication cross tilts at an angle. One recurring page prints the sum 2 + 3 in thick hollow numerals a child can fill in. Daisies, stars, hearts, and scattered dots occupy the background, with BACK TO SCHOOL arching across the top of several designs.

• Number formation is reinforced as students color inside the outlines of 2, 3, and the plus sign.
• • Tool recognition develops before the first real geometry lesson begins.
• • Fine motor accuracy is required by the calculator keypads and the ruler markings.
• • Lower math anxiety follows from meeting the subject through art in the first week.
• • Focus builds over pages with both wide areas and fine scattered detail.

• Set out as bell work while you sort supplies and take attendance.
• • Use to introduce the math corner of the classroom.
• • Print for a math night or open house table activity.
• • Hand to students waiting for a placement assessment to begin.
• • Add a page to the first math homework folder of the year.

The file is one printable PDF: 70 pages at A4, a single design on each sheet. Use the Product Preview to view the interior before purchase.

PreK through 5th grade. Early elementary handles the simple sums comfortably. The rulers and measuring tools carry more detail and take longer to finish.
