About this resource

What's inside this resource

Four number-sentence coloring pages mix two-digit addition, subtraction and multiplication problems -- such as 87-49, 20x5, and 63+29 -- scattered across a winter-themed picture. Each page includes its own six-item "Color Your Answer" key that assigns a color to each possible answer, so students solve every problem, find the matching answer in the key, and color that section accordingly. The multiplication problems range from basic facts up to two-digit-by-two-digit products (e.g., 33x3, 11x9, 20x5), while the addition and subtraction problems mostly stay within 100 and include several that require regrouping (e.g., 87-49, 76-38). Because each page has a name line and its own separate answer-color key, the four pages can be assigned individually rather than as a single combined set.

Product description

From the author

Color your answer is a fun way to practice math. Students will solve the arithmetic problems and then use the color coded key to color in the picture. There are 4 winter themed pictures to choose from. All pictures have different problems to solve so you can give all four to every student. Each page will have a healthy mix of multiplication, addition, subtraction and division.

These color by number activities are great for:

  1. morning work

  2. homework

  3. bell ringers

  4. fast finishers

  5. centers

  6. just for fun!

Your class will continue to practice their math skills and keep them sharp with these fun activities. All they need are colored pencils or crayons. Try to stay away from markers as they won't be able to see the math problem anymore if the marker is too dark. It is better to color lightly with a colored pencil or crayon.

Students can use their math notebooks to solve the double digit problems and should use their memory to solve the fast facts problems.

Bring some life to your math lessons with these great color by number sets!

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Solve two-digit addition and subtraction problems, including several requiring regrouping (e.g., 87-49, 76-38).

  • Solve multiplication facts ranging from basic products up to two-digit-by-two-digit multiplication (e.g., 20x5, 33x3, 11x9).

  • Use a coded answer key to self-check a computed answer by matching it to its assigned color.

  • Complete a picture by coloring each numbered section according to its computed answer.

Teaching tips

  • Have colored pencils or crayons ready, since each page's reveal depends on matching computed answers to six assigned colors.

  • Because each page mixes addition, subtraction and multiplication problems, use it as spiral-review practice rather than single-operation drill.

  • Assign the four pages across separate sessions, since each has its own independent answer-color key rather than a shared one.

Skills covered

  • Multi-digit multiplication fact fluency — students solve products ranging from basic facts to two-digit-by-two-digit problems such as 20x5, 33x3 and 11x9.

  • Two-digit addition and subtraction — students compute sums and differences within 100, including regrouping problems like 87-49 and 76-38.

  • Answer self-checking via a color key — students match each computed answer to one of six listed values to find the correct color, catching computation errors before coloring.

  • Sustained mixed-operation practice — each page packs 20-30 problems across three operations, building computational stamina toward completing one picture.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Do the four pages share one combined color key, or does each stand on its own?

Each of the four pages has its own separate "Color Your Answer" box with a different set of six color-coded values, so the pages are not interchangeable and can be assigned individually.
