To solve this "Color by Number" puzzle, we need to do the addition problems inside each section of the elephant. Then, we match the answer (the sum) to the color key provided in the bottom right corner.
Step 1: Understand the Color Key
Based on the legend in the image:
*
3 = Yellow
*
4 = Orange
*
5 = Blue
*
6 = Red
*
7 = Purple
*
8 = Black
*
9 = Pink
*
10 = Green
Step 2: Solve the Equations and Assign Colors
Let's go through the elephant section by section, starting from the head and moving back.
The Head and Ear:
* Top of head: $2 + 1 = 3$ →
Yellow
* Forehead: $3 + 3 = 6$ →
Red
* Eye area: $2 + 2 = 4$ →
Orange
* Cheek: $2 + 3 = 5$ →
Blue
* Back of head/Neck top: $1 + 2 = 3$ →
Yellow
* Inside Ear (top): $4 + 5 = 9$ →
Pink
* Inside Ear (middle): $2 + 5 = 7$ →
Purple
* Inside Ear (bottom): $1 + 3 = 4$ →
Orange
* Jaw/Chin area: $3 + 1 = 4$ →
Orange
* Neck front: $4 + 1 = 5$ →
Blue
The Body (Main Torso):
* Shoulder top: $1 + 4 = 5$ →
Blue
* Shoulder middle: $3 + 4 = 7$ →
Purple
* Upper Back: $8 + 1 = 9$ →
Pink
* Mid-Back: $5 + 1 = 6$ →
Red
* Lower Back/Rump top: $5 + 2 = 7$ →
Purple
* Belly/Stomach area (left side): $2 + 2 = 4$ →
Orange
* Belly/Stomach area (center): $2 + 1 = 3$ →
Yellow
* Belly/Stomach area (right side): $3 + 4 = 7$ →
Purple
* Chest/Front leg top: $6 + 1 = 7$ →
Purple
* Front Leg (knee area): $3 + 7 = 10$ →
Green
* Front Leg (lower): $4 + 1 = 5$ →
Blue
* Between legs (belly bottom): $9 + 1 = 10$ →
Green
* Rear Leg top: $2 + 1 = 3$ →
Yellow
* Rear Leg (knee area): $3 + 7 = 10$ →
Green
* Rear Leg (lower): $1 + 2 = 3$ →
Yellow
* Tail base: $3 + 6 = 9$ →
Pink
The Trunk:
* Top of trunk: $1 + 2 = 3$ →
Yellow
* Middle of trunk: $3 + 1 = 4$ →
Orange
* Bottom of trunk (tip): $5 + 3 = 8$ →
Black
Summary of the Picture:
When you color it correctly, the elephant will have a mix of colors. The tip of the trunk is black, the ear is mostly pink and purple, the back has red and pink spots, and the legs have green knees.
Final Answer:
Here is the list of equations solved with their corresponding colors:
Head & Ear:
* $2+1=3$ (Yellow)
* $3+3=6$ (Red)
* $2+2=4$ (Orange)
* $2+3=5$ (Blue)
* $1+2=3$ (Yellow)
* $4+5=9$ (Pink)
* $2+5=7$ (Purple)
* $1+3=4$ (Orange)
* $3+1=4$ (Orange)
* $4+1=5$ (Blue)
Body & Legs:
* $1+4=5$ (Blue)
* $3+4=7$ (Purple)
* $8+1=9$ (Pink)
* $5+1=6$ (Red)
* $5+2=7$ (Purple)
* $2+2=4$ (Orange)
* $2+1=3$ (Yellow)
* $3+4=7$ (Purple)
* $6+1=7$ (Purple)
* $3+7=10$ (Green)
* $4+1=5$ (Blue)
* $9+1=10$ (Green)
* $2+1=3$ (Yellow)
* $3+7=10$ (Green)
* $1+2=3$ (Yellow)
* $3+6=9$ (Pink)
Trunk:
* $1+2=3$ (Yellow)
* $3+1=4$ (Orange)
* $5+3=8$ (Black)
