About this worksheet
The top and bottom pictures both show a pirate ship with patched sails, a flag, portholes, barrels and an anchor, sailing past a little palm island, but 10 details changed. Small changes in counts, shapes and patterns make this one for grade 3 and up. Circle the differences, count them on the tick circles and finish with coloring. Answers are on page 2. Take your time: every hard puzzle is solvable by logic alone.
Tips for using it
- Scan in a pattern: compare the top left corner of both pictures, then move across and down, so no part gets skipped.
- Check the sky and the edges too; changes often hide away from the main character.
- Say what you see out loud (three candles, two candles) to catch changes in numbers.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). Page 1 is the worksheet and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. The PNG shows page 1 only. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
