About this coloring page
A printable color-by-number mystery picture worksheet with a hidden ghost. Solve each addition problem (sums up to 10) and color the square by its answer. Kids solve each problem first, then color, which makes it a great math center activity. Orange, purple, black and lime green make a classic Halloween palette.
This page by the numbers
The picture has 143 numbered squares on a 13 x 11 grid, colored with 3 crayon colors. White (number 4) fills the most squares: 98 of them. Black (number 7) is used the least, with 12. Every answer is a number from 4 to 10, so each answer matches one color in the key.
- 4 = white: 98 squares
- 7 = black: 12 squares
- 10 = purple: 33 squares
Coloring ideas
- Color the sky dark blue for a night scene.
- Leave the ghost white and color the background dark so it glows.
- Pastel ghosts in mint or pink look extra friendly.
- Color one number at a time: find all the 1s, then all the 2s, and so on.
