About this coloring page
An illustrated color-by-number worksheet with a balance scale weighing apples against metal weights in a kitchen with jars and a bowl of oranges. Add the two-digit numbers in each space (some need regrouping) and color it by the sum to reveal the full picture. Second graders get real practice with bigger numbers while the picture keeps them going. Have your child say each fact out loud while writing the answer.

Coloring ideas

- Follow the color key exactly to see the mystery picture appear.
- Use markers for bold, even squares.
- Color one number at a time: find all the 1s, then all the 2s, and so on.
