1. Get Artistic with Doodle Math Worksheets

Who doesn't love doodling?

Doodle Math is a great way to get your students’ creative juices flowing, as well as practice their math skills.

It’s a fresh twist on color-by-number or color-by-code, with more creative freedom on the resulting image. Simply print out a Doodle Math worksheet relevant to the topic that you’re covering in class. Your students will solve problems and unlock doodle patterns that they can doodle in the color of their choice.

Here’s a few that are perfect for 6th students during Halloween:
