Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
This worksheet turns addition and subtraction within 10 into a picture. Every square in the grid holds a problem, and the answer decides the color of that square. Some squares add and some subtract, so the grid is not a page of one operation. Blue and orange each go with two answers. The grid mixes 47 different facts. When all 72 squares are colored, the picture shows a jack-o’-lantern, so a student can see for themselves whether the work went right.
Section A fills page 1 with the grid and its color key. Section B on page 2 asks for 12 missing numbers, a different form of the same facts, and Section C has 3 Halloween story problems to solve with a drawing or numbers. Page 3 is the answer key: the finished picture beside the color key. Most young students finish in two short sittings: the grid one day, page 2 the next.
It comes in two editions: a full-color PDF and a low-ink black-and-white PDF for everyday copying. In the black-and-white key every square also shows the first letter of its color.
How to Use This Lesson

Solve every problem in the grid, working across one row at a time.
Color each square with the color its answer points to in the key.
