This page by the numbers
The picture has 25 numbered spaces, colored with 9 crayon colors. White (number 9) fills the most spaces: 7 of them. Red (number 1) is used the least, with 1. Every answer is a number from 1 to 9, so each answer matches one color in the key.
- 1 = red: 1 space
- 2 = orange: 1 space
- 3 = yellow: 3 spaces
- 4 = green: 1 space
- 5 = light blue: 5 spaces
- 6 = blue: 1 space
- 7 = purple: 3 spaces
- 8 = pink: 3 spaces
- 9 = white: 7 spaces
Coloring ideas
- Make the horn gold or silver.
- Check each answer by adding it back to the number taken away.
- Count back on your fingers or the number line for the hardest facts.
- Color one number at a time: find all the 1s, then all the 2s, and so on.
