Color By Number: Math: subtract, add, multiply, divide

About this resource

What's inside this resource

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:

morning work
homework
bell ringers
fast finishers
centers
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.

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.

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.
