Let’s solve each addition problem in the apple, then match the answer to the color key at the bottom.
We’ll go section by section and write down the sum for each:
Top left:
- 3 + 7 =
10
- 4 + 5 =
9
- 1 + 6 =
7
- 2 + 4 =
6
- 3 + 3 =
6
- 1 + 7 =
8
- 10 + 0 =
10
- 4 + 3 =
7
- 9 + 1 =
10
- 5 + 0 =
5
- 1 + 6 =
7 (bottom left)
Middle:
- 7 + 1 =
8
- 5 + 4 =
9
- 2 + 5 =
7
- 4 + 2 =
6
- 3 + 3 =
6
- 6 + 4 =
10
- 7 + 2 =
9
- 5 + 3 =
8
Right side:
- 5 + 5 =
10
- 6 + 0 =
6
- 7 + 1 =
8
- 8 + 1 =
9
- 4 + 4 =
8
- 2 + 3 =
5
- 9 + 0 =
9
- 3 + 2 =
5
- 5 + 2 =
7
Now let’s group them by answer and assign colors using the key:
Color Key:
- Blue → 5, 6
- Green → 7
- Purple → 8
- Yellow → 9
- Red → 10
So now we color each section based on its sum:
✔ Sum = 5 → Blue
Sections: 5+0, 2+3, 3+2 → Color these
Blue
✔ Sum = 6 → Blue
Sections: 3+3, 2+4, 4+2, 6+0 → Also
Blue
✔ Sum = 7 → Green
Sections: 1+6, 4+3, 9+1, 1+6 (again), 2+5, 5+2 → Color these
Green
✔ Sum = 8 → Purple
Sections: 1+7, 7+1, 4+4, 7+1 (again), 5+3 → Color these
Purple
✔ Sum = 9 → Yellow
Sections: 4+5, 5+4, 8+1, 7+2, 9+0 → Color these
Yellow
✔ Sum = 10 → Red
Sections: 3+7, 10+0, 5+5, 6+4 → Color these
Red
Double-checking a few random ones:
- 3+7=10 → Red ✔️
- 4+5=9 → Yellow ✔️
- 1+6=7 → Green ✔️
- 5+5=10 → Red ✔️
- 2+3=5 → Blue ✔️
- 7+1=8 → Purple ✔️
All calculations are correct.
Final Answer:
Color each section of the apple according to the sum of the numbers inside it, using this guide:
- If the sum is
5 or 6 → Color
Blue
- If the sum is
7 → Color
Green
- If the sum is
8 → Color
Purple
- If the sum is
9 → Color
Yellow
- If the sum is
10 → Color
Red
