Super interesting, Brigid! This is one reason I started using color by numbers. I wrote a blog post with some related ideas back in the spring - http://ellienix.blogspot.com/2015/04/how-does-coloring-improve-math-skills.html. I like your exercise demonstration!

This was great to see. We use math colouring sheets in math class and glad to know that can improve learning!
