Subtraction math worksheet with bears and balloons, using a color code for answers.

Problem Description:

The task involves solving subtraction problems and using a color code to color the balloons based on the results. The subtraction problems are all from numbers 10, 11, or 12, and the color code is as follows:
- 7: red
- 8: yellow
- 9: blue

Step-by-Step Solution:

#### 1. Solve Each Subtraction Problem:
We will solve each subtraction problem listed in the image.

- 10 - 3 = 7
- 10 - 2 = 8
- 12 - 5 = 7
- 12 - 3 = 9
- 10 - 1 = 9
- 11 - 2 = 9
- 12 - 4 = 8
- 10 - 2 = 8
- 11 - 4 = 7
- 10 - 3 = 7
- 10 - 1 = 9
- 12 - 4 = 8
- 11 - 2 = 9
- 11 - 3 = 8
- 11 - 4 = 7

#### 2. Match Results to the Color Code:
Using the color code provided:
- 7: red
- 8: yellow
- 9: blue

We will assign colors to each balloon based on the result of the subtraction:

- 10 - 3 = 7 → red
- 10 - 2 = 8 → yellow
- 12 - 5 = 7 → red
- 12 - 3 = 9 → blue
- 10 - 1 = 9 → blue
- 11 - 2 = 9 → blue
- 12 - 4 = 8 → yellow
- 10 - 2 = 8 → yellow
- 11 - 4 = 7 → red
- 10 - 3 = 7 → red
- 10 - 1 = 9 → blue
- 12 - 4 = 8 → yellow
- 11 - 2 = 9 → blue
- 11 - 3 = 8 → yellow
- 11 - 4 = 7 → red

#### 3. Color the Balloons:
Now, we can color the balloons according to the results:

- Red Balloons: 10 - 3, 12 - 5, 11 - 4, 10 - 3, 11 - 4
- Yellow Balloons: 10 - 2, 12 - 4, 10 - 2, 12 - 4, 11 - 2, 11 - 3
- Blue Balloons: 12 - 3, 10 - 1, 11 - 2, 10 - 1, 11 - 2, 11 - 3

Final Answer:

The balloons should be colored as follows:
- Red: 5 balloons
- Yellow: 6 balloons
- Blue: 4 balloons
