Math facts coloring worksheets: 6 quick settings

Quick settings names skills, never grades. Add within 10 draws on 45 facts, so one fact can appear 5 times. Add and subtract within 20, the opening sheet, draws on 380 problems; within 100 there are 9,900 and no square repeats. Both are addition and subtraction coloring worksheets with the two signs mixed. Times tables 2, 5, 10 stops at × 10.

Math coloring sheets: one answer, one color

On these coloring math worksheets no answer serves two colors, and a large area gets up to 6 answers so its problems repeat less. One-skill sheets are titled Color by sum, difference, product or quotient; mixed ones are color by answer math worksheets.

  • Untick Problems in the white squares too and the Submarine drops from 144 problems to 56.
  • Thunderstorm and Starfish have no white squares. Eight pictures need 3 crayons; Hamburger, Train and Truck need 5.
  • New problems keeps the picture and rewrites every square, so two groups get different math coloring sheets of one Frog.

Questions and answers

Are there color by number math worksheets 2nd grade pupils can do?

Two settings fit. Common Core asks second graders to add and subtract within 20 fluently, which is the opening setting, and within 100 using place value. Within 100, a problem such as 47 + 36 prints in a row, with no columns to regroup in.

How do math worksheets color by number?

Each square holds a problem, such as 8 + 6, not a number. The pupil works it out, finds 14 in the code and colors. That sets color by numbers math worksheets apart from a plain color by number, where nothing is worked out.

Is there division?

Yes. Set Problems to Division, Multiply and divide or All four operations. On these color by number math printables every division comes out exactly, with no remainder, and with all the tables chosen the quotients run from 1 to 10.

Do the times tables go up to 12?

The tables do: All tables, multiply and divide includes 11 and 12. The other factor stops at 10 on this page, so the largest fact is 12 × 10. The color by multiplication worksheets run every table to × 12.
