How to Use This Pack

Four pictures to color by code. Every space holds a problem with two two-digit numbers: students solve it, find the answer in the color key at the top, and color the space that color. Pages 1 and 2 are adding within 100: a walking turkey, then a roast turkey with cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes. Pages 3 and 4 are subtracting within 100: a pumpkin, then a gourd, a pumpkin pie and an acorn squash. Some problems need regrouping and some do not. A space too small for a problem in a row shows it in a column, or shows just its answer.

In the Classroom

Students can work the problems on scrap paper or a whiteboard, by place value, on an open number line, or in columns. The pages make good early finisher work or a center in the week before Thanksgiving. Color the key's circles together before starting.

At Home

Ask your child to explain how they solved one problem: adding the tens, then the ones, is one good way. If a space turns out the wrong color, solve its problem again together.

Tips for Success

Solve the problem first, then find its answer in the key
Add or subtract the tens, then the ones
Some colors have two answers: look at both
A tiny space with nothing in it: color it like the part it belongs to
