Curriculum

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.1

Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.2

Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 o...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.3

Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.B.5

Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide.2 Examples: If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × ...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.C.7

Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all pr...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.B.6

Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explai...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.MD.A.2

Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in...

Math 3.4(D)

Determine the total number of objects when equally-sized groups of objects are combined or arranged in arrays up to 10 by 10;
Math 3.4(E)

Represent multiplication facts by using a variety of approaches such as repeated addition, equal-sized groups, arrays, area models, equal jumps on a number line, and skip counting;
Math 3.4(F)

Recall facts to multiply up to 10 by 10 with automaticity and recall the corresponding division facts;
Math 3.4(H)

Determine the number of objects in each group when a set of objects is partitioned into equal shares or a set of objects is shared equally;
Math 4.4(E)

Represent the quotient of up to a four-digit whole number divided by a one-digit whole number using arrays, area models, or equations;
Math 4.4(H)

Solve with fluency one- and two-step problems involving multiplication and division, including interpreting remainders.
Math 4.8(C)

Solve problems that deal with measurements of length, intervals of time, liquid volumes, mass, and money using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division as appropriate.

What is International Dot Day?

As the world gears up for International Dot Day, creative minds from all corners of the globe are getting ready to observe this special day. Teachers are set to motivate and encourage their students to explore their creativity through fun and engaging art tasks in classrooms worldwide.

Based on the book The Dot, by Paul Reynolds, International Dot Day inspires young learners to be creative and use their inventiveness to create works of art. This day offers an excellent chance to get creative, and it blends well with number sense activities that make math fun!

The best part of Dot Day is celebrating it across the curriculum! In this worksheet, your students will solve a mixture of basic multiplication and division facts and then color an abstract circle art picture using a student-made color key—a fun take on a traditional math practice.

It’s a perfect way to blend your math lessons into International Dot Day classroom celebrations.

Versatile and Fun Multiplication and Division Practice

In addition to individual student work time, use this color-by-number activity as a

Math center activity
Math Warm-up activity
Brain Break
Fast Finisher activity
Homework assignment

Fast finishers can create their own dot day artworks on the back of the page and turn them into color-by-number activities themselves!

Support students who need more help can use a printable multiplication chart displayed in the classroom or on their desk plates.

How To Prepare This Resource

Print each student a copy of the worksheet. Provide them with a pencil and coloring supplies. Go over the directions, and they’re ready to go!
