Top row (left to right):
1. 8 + 1 =
8 plus 1 is 9 → ✔
2. 8 - 5 =
8 minus 5 is 3 → ✔
3. 7 - 3 =
7 minus 3 is 4 → ✔
---
Second row:
4. 6 + 1 =
6 plus 1 is 7 → ✔
5. 1 + 0 =
Any number plus 0 stays the same → 1 → ✔
6. 4 - 3 =
4 minus 3 is 1 → ✔
7. 5 + 3 =
5 plus 3 is 8 → ✔
---
Third row (around the cat and clouds):
8. 1 + 1 =
1 plus 1 is 2 → ✔
9. 8 + 1 = *(again)*
Same as before → 9 → ✔
10. 4 - 2 =
4 minus 2 is 2 → ✔
11. 2 + 0 =
2 plus 0 is 2 → ✔
12. 8 - 4 =
8 minus 4 is 4 → ✔

20. 6 - 3 =
6 minus 3 is 3 → ✔
21. 5 + 2 =
5 plus 2 is 7 → ✔
22. 4 + 4 = *(leaf near flower)*
Already did this → 8 → ✔
23. 7 - 2 =
7 minus 2 is 5 → ✔
24. 6 + 1 = *(flower petal)*
6 plus 1 is 7 → ✔
25. 2 + 3 = *(flower center)*

32. 1 + 6 = *(top right leaf)*
1 plus 6 is 7 → ✔
33. 7 + 2 = *(leaf near top right)*
7 plus 2 is 9 → ✔
34. 1 + 4 = *(already did — but let’s confirm: yes, 5) → ✔*
Wait — we may have duplicates. Let’s list all unique problems with their answers for coloring:
We need to assign colors based on the key:
Color Key:
- YELLOW: 1, 9
- BROWN: 7, 6
- GREEN: 8
- BLUE: 2, 4
- PURPLE: 3, 5
- RED: 10
Now, let’s group each answer with its color:
→ Answer 1: appears in “1+0”, “4-3” → YELLOW
→ Answer 2: “1+1”, “4-2”, “2+0” → BLUE
→ Answer 3: “8-5”, “6-3” → PURPLE
→ Answer 4: “7-3”, “8-4”, “5-1” → BLUE
→ Answer 5: “1+4”, “7-2”, “2+3” → PURPLE
→ Answer 6: “3+3”, “2+4”, “10-4”, “3+3” again → BROWN
→ Answer 7: “6+1”, “5+2”, “6+1” again, “4+3”, “1+6” → BROWN
→ Answer 8: “5+3”, “4+4”, “4+4” again → GREEN
→ Answer 9: “8+1”, “8+1” again, “4+5”, “9+0”, “7+2” → YELLOW
→ Answer 10: “5+5”, “10-0” → RED
All calculations are verified.
