About this coloring page
An illustrated color-by-number worksheet with a polar bear hugging a fish on an ice floe under the northern lights, with icebergs, the moon and stars. Subtract the two-digit numbers in each space (some need regrouping) and color it by the difference to reveal the full picture. Second graders get real practice with bigger numbers while the picture keeps them going. Check each answer by adding it back to the number taken away.
