Play the game: Squares to 110Steps 66, 67 of the ColorMyMath curriculum · free, no sign-up →Letters stand for quantities you can still picture. A balance stays level, a function machine shows what it did, and doubling grows as a shape you can watch.
Every page is free and open — nothing to install, no account, and it works on a phone or a classroom board. Every number has its own color: 1 red, 2 orange, 3 yellow, 4 green, 5 blue, 6 purple, 7 brown, 8 pink, 9 cyan, and a number is that many colored dots.
