The Color Wheel

Every color from three pencils. Students mix a 12-color wheel by layering red, yellow, and blue, explore complementary, analogous, and warm/cool palettes, learn to darken with complements instead of black, then build the wheel for real.

For teachers

Three levels at the top — Explore (hints, simpler wording), Core, Challenge (no hints, triadic + split-complementary, harder questions). Let students pick their own level. Every chapter has a Listen button (read-aloud) and a Words button with Spanish terms. Chapter 6 has a Print the blank wheel button, and the worksheet PDF is downloadable from this page — print one per student the night before. Real-pencil part takes 1–2 periods and feeds The Color of Home.
