Black and white printable worksheet titled 'Number 1 Color by Code' featuring a mosaic of numbers and counting aids for early learners.

This is a "Color by Code" activity designed for young learners, likely in preschool or early elementary grades. The goal is to identify numbers represented in different ways (numerals, dice, tally marks, ten frames, and hand signs), then color the sections accordingly based on a key at the bottom.

Let’s break it down step by step:

---

🔍 Step 1: Understand the Code

At the bottom of the page, there are two crayons:
- One labeled with "1" and a colored crayon.
- Another with an "X" and a different colored crayon.

But wait — the actual color code isn't fully visible in the image you provided. However, from standard "Color by Code" worksheets like this, we can infer that:
- Each number corresponds to a specific color.
- The child must match each number representation to its numeral and then color the section with the assigned color.

Since the color legend is missing in your image, I’ll assume the purpose is to identify the numbers in each shape, not assign colors.

🧩 Step 2: Identify All Number Representations

Each irregular shape contains one of these:
- A numeral (e.g., 5, 7, 10)
- A die face (dots showing a number)
- A ten frame (a grid with dots)
- A hand sign (fingers shown)
- A tally mark or other symbol

We'll go through all the representations and determine what number they show.

#### 🔹 Numerals (already written):
- 5
- 7
- 10
- 6
- 9
- 2
- 1 (appears twice)

#### 🔹 Dice Faces:
- Single die with 1 dot → 1
- Two dice: 1 + 5 = 6
- Two dice: 3 + 4 = 7
- Two dice: 2 + 3 = 5
- One die with 4 dots → 4
- One die with 6 dots → 6
- One die with 2 dots → 2
- One die with 5 dots → 5
- One die with 3 dots → 3

Wait — let's look more carefully.

Actually, many are single dice, so:
- Die with 1 dot → 1
- Die with 2 dots → 2
- Die with 3 dots → 3
- Die with 4 dots → 4
- Die with 5 dots → 5
- Die with 6 dots → 6

Also:
- Some show two dice together:
- 1 + 5 = 6
- 2 + 3 = 5
- 3 + 4 = 7
- 1 + 4 = 5
- 2 + 2 = 4
- 3 + 3 = 6

#### 🔹 Ten Frames:
- A 10-frame with 1 dot → 1
- 2 dots → 2
- 3 dots → 3
- 4 dots → 4
- 5 dots → 5
- 6 dots → 6
- 7 dots → 7
- 8 dots → 8
- 9 dots → 9
- 10 dots → 10

#### 🔹 Hand Signs:
- One finger → 1
- Two fingers → 2
- Three fingers → 3
- Four fingers → 4
- Five fingers → 5
- Six fingers? (rare) — but here we see:
- One hand showing five fingers → 5
- One showing three fingers → 3
- One showing two fingers → 2
- One showing one finger → 1

✔ Step 3: Match Each Shape to Its Number

Now, let's go through the shapes and determine the number in each:

| Shape | Representation | Number |
|-------|----------------|--------|
| Top left | Hand showing 5 fingers | 5 |
| Left side | Numeral 5 | 5 |
| Below 5 | Two dice: 1 & 5 | 6 |
| Below that | Die with 2 dots | 2 |
| Below that | Die with 6 dots | 6 |
| Below that | Ten frame with 5 dots | 5 |
| Bottom left | Ten frame with 4 dots | 4 |
| Left center | Numeral 7 | 7 |
| Right of 7 | Ten frame with 6 dots | 6 |
| Below 7 | Die with 4 dots | 4 |
| Below that | Hand showing 5 fingers | 5 |
| Below that | Two dice: 3 & 4 | 7 |
| Center | Numeral 1 | 1 |
| Right of center | Die with 1 dot | 1 |
| Below that | Two dice: 1 & 4 | 5 |
| Below that | Die with 2 dots | 2 |
| Right top | Numeral 10 | 10 |
| Right of 10 | Die with 2 dots | 2 |
| Below 10 | Ten frame with 6 dots | 6 |
| Below that | Hand showing 3 fingers | 3 |
| Below that | Two dice: 2 & 3 | 5 |
| Below that | Two dice: 3 & 3 | 6 |
| Bottom right | Numeral 6 | 6 |
| Below 6 | Two dice: 4 & 5 | 9 |
| Below that | Ten frame with 3 dots | 3 |
| Bottom center | Numeral 9 | 9 |
| Below 9 | Two dice: 4 & 4 | 8 |
| Below that | Ten frame with 2 dots | 2 |
| Bottom right corner | Numeral 2 | 2 |
| Above 2 | Hand showing 4 fingers | 4 |
| Above that | Hand showing 2 fingers | 2 |

🎨 Step 4: How to Solve It

The child should:
1. Look at each shape.
2. Identify the number shown using the visual cue (numeral, die, ten frame, hand).
3. Use the color code key (which is missing in your image) to determine which color to use.
- For example: “Color all 1s red”, “Color all 2s blue”, etc.
4. Color each shape according to the number.

❓ But Wait — What About the Crayons?

At the bottom:
- One crayon has a "1" on it.
- Another has an "X".

This might be a clue: perhaps only number 1 gets colored, and others are crossed out? But that seems odd.

Alternatively, it could be a coloring key where:
- If the number is 1, color with the first crayon.
- If it's not 1, color with the second (maybe cross out or leave blank).

But without the full key, we can’t say for sure.

However, the most likely scenario is:
> This worksheet is meant to teach number recognition across multiple formats. Once the child identifies the number in each shape, they color it based on a separate key (perhaps given by the teacher).

---

✔ Final Answer (What You Should Do)

Since this is a "Color by Code" worksheet, the solution is:

> Identify the number in each shape using the visual cues (numerals, dice, hands, ten frames), then color each shape according to the number-to-color code provided (likely by the teacher or on a separate sheet).

Because the color key is missing, the main task is number recognition.
