The image you've uploaded is a collection of "color by number" multiplication worksheets. These are educational activities designed for children to practice their multiplication tables while also engaging in a fun, creative coloring task.
Each worksheet focuses on a specific multiplication table (from 1 to 9) and contains a grid with multiplication problems. The instructions at the top of each sheet are consistent:
1.
Solve each problem.
2.
Follow the color code to color the picture.
The goal is to solve the math problems within the grid and then use the provided color key to color each square according to its answer, which will reveal a hidden picture.
Since there is no single "problem" to solve but rather eight different worksheets, I will demonstrate how to solve one of them as an example.

Example: Solving the "Multiply by 3" Worksheet
Let's focus on the "Multiply by 3" worksheet located in the top row, third from the left.
Step 1: Examine the Color Code
At the top of the worksheet, there is a color key. Each color corresponds to a specific set of answers.
-
Red: 3, 6, 9
-
Orange: 12, 15, 18
-
Brown: 21, 24, 27
-
Blue: 30, 33, 36
-
Green: 39, 42, 45
-
Yellow: 48, 51, 54
-
Black: 57, 60, 63
Step 2: Solve a Problem in the Grid
Let's pick a cell in the grid. For instance, look at the cell in the second row, first column. The problem written in it is `3x1`.
- $3 \times 1 = 3$
- According to the color code, the answer `3` corresponds to
Red.
- Therefore, this cell should be colored red.
Step 3: Repeat for All Cells
You would repeat this process for every cell in the grid. For example:
- Cell with `3x2`: $3 \times 2 = 6$ →
Red
- Cell with `3x3`: $3 \times 3 = 9$ →
Red
- Cell with `3x4`: $3 \times 4 = 12$ →
Orange
- Cell with `3x5`: $3 \times 5 = 15$ →
Orange
- And so on...
By systematically solving each problem and applying the correct color, the hidden image (which appears to be a character or shape) will be revealed.

Final Answer
To "solve the problem," you must complete all eight worksheets by following these steps for each one:
1. Identify the multiplication table for that worksheet (e.g., "Multiply by 4").
2. Use the color key provided at the top to map answers to colors.
3. Solve each multiplication problem in the grid.
4. Color each cell according to the answer using the color key.
5. Once all cells are colored, the hidden picture will be revealed.
This activity reinforces multiplication facts through repetition and provides a visual reward for completing the math problems correctly.
