Learning Rainbow Number Facts!

Rainbow Number Facts

We’ve been practising our Rainbow Number Math skills using our Crayola Widescreen Light Designer – it provides a reusable surface that’s perfect for FUN learning and creating!!

Are you familiar with Rainbow Number Facts? It’s a great visual method that helps children learn the number sets that make up 10. My daughter has been using this method in school and now at home – I’m so happy with the results! Miss 6 can easily and quickly solve basic math problems, she’s even been using it to work out how much change I should get at the shops (it’s a great tool for learning currency concepts because most currency problems involve 10’s or 100’s).

So here’s how it works –

We start by writing the numbers 0 – 10 across the bottom of the ‘page’ or in this case our Widescreen Light Design board, we then draw the rainbow connecting the number sets as shown below. This enables the child to see all the possible pairs of numbers that can make up 10. I then wrote some simple math problems for her to fill in the blanks with the correct number. As your child progresses you can mix these up to make it a bit more complex.

My daughter is a very visual learner so this system has helped her tremendously! She is now competent in quickly solving the problems without the guide, the sets have been memorised in a visual manner which means she doesn’t spend time ‘counting’ out the problems because the answers are easy to recall.

This post has been sponsored by Crayola and their Crayola Widescreen Light Designer. It’s so much FUN to create beautiful drawings on this glowing canvas! It’s ultra widescreen enables BOTH my two kids to draw on it together comfortably without any arguments (unlike our iPad). We have incorporated it into our bedtime routine too! Once we finish reading her bedtime story we allow her to draw a picture from her story, we then set this up in her bedroom to act as a night light – it automatically switches off after 15mins!

  1. Just uploaded my daughter’s latest drawing but wondered if you received it. Don’t know where it went but I suppose you have access to it somewhere. Anyway, our daughter is coming to the end of her Kindergarten year and just loves drawing, but probably loves Elsa and Frozen that little bit more. (Aged 7 yrs)

    1. Hello Rachel, We have received it :). It’s beautiful!! What a talented little artist you have! Thank you for your entry and good luck!! Louise x
