Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Understand the Task:
- Look at all the numbers inside the circles.
- Identify every instance of the number 3.
- Color each 3 purple (or as instructed).

2. Scan the Image:
- The numbers are arranged in a circular pattern around a large central number 3.
- The central 3 is already colored purple — that’s a clue!
- Now, locate all other 3s in the smaller circles.

3. Locate All the Number 3s:
Let's go through the numbers one by one:
- Top row: 6, 3, 0, 3 → two 3s
- Next: 1, 0, 5, 1, 2 → no 3s
- Then: 3, 2, 9, 8 → one 3
- Then: 7, 3, 3, 3 → three 3s
- Bottom: 2, 3, 4, 5 → one 3

Let's count:
- Top row: 2 (positions: second and fourth)
- Middle-left: 1 (third from left)
- Middle-bottom: 3 (three in a row)
- Bottom: 1 (second from left)

Total number of 3s:
- Central 3 (already colored)
- 2 in top row
- 1 on middle-left
- 3 in bottom-middle
- 1 in bottom row

✔ That makes 8 instances of the number 3 in total.

4. Action Required:
- You need to color all these 8 circles containing the number 3 in purple.
- The large center 3 is already purple — good!
- Color the remaining seven small 3s purple.

Final Answer:

👉 Color all the circles with the number "3" in purple. There are 8 total threes in the image:
- One large central 3 (already colored)
- Seven smaller 3s scattered around it

✔ After coloring, the worksheet will show the number 3 highlighted in purple throughout the design.
