Every space holds a fact. Students solve it, check the answer against the color rules (like "Color the facts with an answer greater than 40 black."), and color the space. Page 1 is addition, page 2 subtraction, page 3 multiplication, page 4 division, and page 5 mixes all four. The pictures: an apple, a butterfly, an ice cream cone, a mushroom, and a tree.
Pick the pages that fit each student: 1st and 2nd graders can do pages 1 and 2, 3rd graders pages 3 to 5. Students can write small answers in the spaces before coloring. The answer keys shade each color in its own strength of blue.
Let your child solve a row, then color it, so the picture grows bit by bit. If a space looks wrong once the picture appears, solve that fact again together.
This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:
Five mystery pictures where every space is a math fact. Add, subtract, multiply, or divide, then color by the answer to reveal an apple, a butterfly, an ice cream cone, a mushroom, and a tree. Answer keys included.
