Color by Code Subtraction to 10 sample page

Eighty-one subtraction problems feel like a lot less when a picture is hiding in them.

A mystery picture only works if the answers are right, so the picture checks the math. Children who would not finish a page of plain problems will happily finish a picture.

Good questions

Is there an answer key?

Yes. It shows all ten finished pictures.

Does the black-and-white version still work?

Yes. The key names every color in words, so the pages work the same when printed without color.

What exactly do I download?

The same 13 pages as PDF files in full color and in ink-saving black and white, each sized for US Letter paper and for A4. Print the one you like.

How do I get it?

The button takes you to a secure checkout run by Polar. As soon as you pay you can download the files, and a link is emailed to you as well.

Can I use it with my class?

Yes. Print as often as you like for your own children or your own class.
