Multiplication Color by Code Worksheets - Teaching Trove - Free Printable

It looks like you've uploaded a fun and educational math worksheet titled "Looking Fishy", which combines multiplication practice with coloring based on a code. Let's solve it step by step.

🔍 Understanding the Task

1. Spinner: There is a spinner labeled "2 times table" with multiplication expressions like `3 × 2`, `5 × 2`, etc. This suggests that you spin the spinner to get a multiplication problem (e.g., 3 × 2 = 6), but since this is a static image, we'll assume you're meant to solve all the multiplication equations in the fish picture.

2. Equations in the Fish: The fish is divided into sections, each containing an equation of the form:
```
__ × __ = [product]
```
But the first number is missing — it’s up to you to fill in the blank so that when multiplied by 2 (since it's the "2 times table"), you get the product shown.

For example:
`__ × 2 = 10` → Answer: 5

3. Color Code: After solving each equation, use the color code to color the section:
- Dark blue: products 4, 10, 22
- Green: 16, 20
- Light blue: 0, 14
- Orange: 8, 24
- Yellow: 2, 6
- Pink: 12, 18

✔ Step-by-Step Solution

We’ll go through each equation in the fish and determine the missing factor (which will be a number from 0 to 12, since it's the 2 times table).

Let’s list all the equations and solve them:

| Equation | Missing Factor | Product | Color |
|--------|----------------|--------|-------|
| __ × 2 = 12 | 6 | 12 | Pink |
| __ × 2 = 18 | 9 | 18 | Pink |
| __ × 2 = 2 | 1 | 2 | Yellow |
| __ × 2 = 14 | 7 | 14 | Light blue |
| __ × 2 = 0 | 0 | 0 | Light blue |
| __ × 2 = 18 | 9 | 18 | Pink |
| __ × 2 = 14 | 7 | 14 | Light blue |
| __ × 2 = 4 | 2 | 4 | Dark blue |
| __ × 2 = 22 | 11 | 22 | Dark blue |
| __ × 2 = 6 | 3 | 6 | Yellow |
| __ × 2 = 10 | 5 | 10 | Dark blue |
| __ × 2 = 22 | 11 | 22 | Dark blue |
| __ × 2 = 4 | 2 | 4 | Dark blue |
| __ × 2 = 24 | 12 | 24 | Orange |
| __ × 2 = 8 | 4 | 8 | Orange |
| __ × 2 = 2 | 1 | 2 | Yellow |
| __ × 2 = 22 | 11 | 22 | Dark blue |
| __ × 2 = 4 | 2 | 4 | Dark blue |
| __ × 2 = 10 | 5 | 10 | Dark blue |
| __ × 2 = 12 | 6 | 12 | Pink |
| __ × 2 = 14 | 7 | 14 | Light blue |
| __ × 2 = 18 | 9 | 18 | Pink |
| __ × 2 = 16 | 8 | 16 | Green |
| __ × 2 = 8 | 4 | 8 | Orange |
| __ × 2 = 20 | 10 | 20 | Green |
| __ × 2 = 16 | 8 | 16 | Green |
| __ × 2 = 8 | 4 | 8 | Orange |
| __ × 2 = 24 | 12 | 24 | Orange |
| __ × 2 = 16 | 8 | 16 | Green |
| __ × 2 = 20 | 10 | 20 | Green |

🎨 Coloring Instructions

Now, use the color code to color each section:

- Dark blue: 4, 10, 22 → Sections with products: 4, 10, 22
- Green: 16, 20 → Products: 16, 20
- Light blue: 0, 14 → Products: 0, 14
- Orange: 8, 24 → Products: 8, 24
- Yellow: 2, 6 → Products: 2, 6
- Pink: 12, 18 → Products: 12, 18

---

✔ Final Answer Summary

You should:

1. Fill in the missing numbers in each equation (all are multiples of 2).
2. Color each segment based on the product using the color key.

For example:
- A segment with `__ × 2 = 12` → Fill in 6, then color pink
- A segment with `__ × 2 = 22` → Fill in 11, then color dark blue
- A segment with `__ × 2 = 8` → Fill in 4, then color orange

🐟 Bonus: What Does It Look Like?

Once colored correctly, the fish will have:
- Pink for 12 and 18
- Dark blue for 4, 10, 22
- Green for 16, 20
- Orange for 8, 24
- Yellow for 2, 6
- Light blue for 0, 14

This creates a colorful pattern — possibly resembling a rainbow fish!

✔ Final Note: Since I can't color the image here, you can now:
- Solve each blank (divide the product by 2)
- Use the color code to shade each section accordingly
