About this coloring page
A printable color-by-number mystery picture worksheet with a hidden leaf. Solve each subtraction problem (answers up to 10) and color the square by its answer. Every square is a quick math fact, so it doubles as addition or subtraction practice. Count back on your fingers or the number line for the hardest facts.
This page by the numbers
The picture has 130 numbered squares on a 13 x 10 grid, colored with 4 crayon colors. Light blue (number 6) fills the most squares: 78 of them. Brown (number 7) is used the least, with 2. Every answer is a number from 4 to 9, so each answer matches one color in the key.
- 4 = orange: 46 squares
- 6 = light blue: 78 squares
- 7 = brown: 2 squares
- 9 = red: 4 squares
Coloring ideas
- Check each answer by adding it back to the number taken away.
- 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.
