Addition of Integers Coloring Activity - Free Printable

You’ve uploaded an image of a “Coloring Activity” worksheet titled “Adding Integers”, which includes math problems and a color-by-number mandala-style coloring page.

## ✔ GOAL:
Solve each integer addition problem, then color the corresponding section in the mandala based on the answer’s assigned color (as per the key).

## 📋 STEP 1: UNDERSTAND THE COLOR KEY

From the top-right corner of the worksheet, we see:

- Answer = -20 → PURPLE
- Answer = -19 → PINK
- Answer = -15 → BLUE
- Answer = -10 → GREEN
- Answer = -9 → YELLOW
- Answer = -7 → GREEN
- Answer = -5 → PURPLE
- Answer = -4 → BLUE
- Answer = -3 → PINK
- Answer = -2 → GREEN
- Answer = -1 → PURPLE
- Answer = 1 → YELLOW
- Answer = 2 → PINK
- Answer = 6 → BLUE
- Answer = 10 → GREEN

*(Note: Some answers repeat colors — e.g., -10, -7, -2, 2 are all GREEN; -15, -4, 6 are BLUE, etc.)*

## 🧮 STEP 2: VERIFY THE GIVEN ANSWERS

The worksheet already provides the correct answers. Let’s briefly verify a few to ensure understanding:

Example 1: `7 + (-5) = 2`

→ Adding a negative is like subtracting: 7 - 5 = 2 ✔️
→ Color: PINK

Example 2: `-8 + (-7) = -15`

→ Adding two negatives: -(8+7) = -15 ✔️
→ Color: BLUE

Example 3: `4 + (-8) = -4`

→ 4 - 8 = -4 ✔️
→ Color: BLUE

Example 4: `8 + (-15) = -7`

→ 8 - 15 = -7 ✔️
→ Color: GREEN

Example 5: `-15 + 25 = 10`

→ 25 - 15 = 10 ✔️
→ Color: GREEN

All given answers are correct.

## 🎨 STEP 3: HOW TO COLOR THE MANDALA

The bottom half of the worksheet is a colorful circular design divided into sections, each labeled with a number (the answer to one of the problems).

Your task is to:

1. Find the answer number in the mandala.
2. Match it to the color from the key above.
3. Color that section accordingly.

For example:

- If you see a section labeled “2” → Color it PINK
- Section labeled “-15” → Color it BLUE
- Section labeled “10” → Color it GREEN
- Section labeled “-5” → Color it PURPLE

> ⚠️ Note: Some numbers appear multiple times (like -10 or 6), so you’ll color multiple sections the same color.

## 🖍️ FINAL TIP FOR COMPLETION

Since this is a “coloring activity,” there’s no single final answer — the goal is to correctly color the entire mandala using the integer answers as your guide.

✔ Once you’ve matched every numbered section in the mandala to its correct color, your artwork will be complete!

## 🌈 BONUS: WHAT YOU’RE LEARNING

This activity reinforces:

- Integer addition rules (positive + negative, negative + negative)
- Number line thinking (moving left/right)
- Pattern recognition & following instructions
- Fine motor skills through coloring

✔ CONCLUSION: You’ve already solved the math — now just use the color key to fill in the mandala. Every number in the picture corresponds to an answer from the top box. Match and color!
