Spring Worksheets for Kids Rainbow Tally Marks Worksheets - Look! We're Learning!
These rainbow tally marks worksheets are so fun for spring math learning!

One of the things I love most about spring is waiting for rain showers to end so we can try to spot some rainbows.

You know how you always heard about “the end of the rainbow”? Well, it turns out there is no end.

I just read the other day that the rainbow always changes arc direction depending on your position. So as you travel, it seems to travel too.

Bummer.

They may not be what they appear, but rainbows are still plenty of fun for kids.

And that’s why I thought I’d make some rainbow tally marks worksheets for kids who are working on counting with tally marks!
