Addition to 10 Color by Number Worksheet

The regions on this picture hold sums within 10. Small ranges cannot supply twelve different answers, so a few regions share a color โ€” that is deliberate, and the color key names every answer it accepts.

Teaching notes for addition to 10

Sums within 10 come before anything that crosses a ten, so most children work straight down the sheet. Counting on fingers is normal at this stage and worth leaving alone.

How to use this sheet

  • 1. Solve the problem printed inside each region of the picture.
  • 2. Find that answer in the color key at the top of the sheet.
  • 3. Color the region with the crayon next to it. Each swatch also carries a letter code, so the sheet still works printed in black and white.

The picture only comes out right if the facts were answered right, which is the point: a guessed answer shows up as a wrong color instead of disappearing into a page of ticks.

After the addition to 10 sheet

A coloring sheet is deliberate, slow practice โ€” good for a first pass and for the facts that are still shaky. Recall speed comes from short repeated retrieval, so pair it with a few minutes of online practice rather than another sheet.
