Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a “color by code” activity based on multiplication facts for ×3. Each section of the picture has a multiplication problem like “7×3”, “2×3”, etc. We need to calculate each one, then match the answer to the color code at the top.
First, let’s look at the color code:
- Answers 3,6 → yellow
- Answers 9,12 → blue
- Answers 15,18 → red
- Answers 21,24 → green
- Answers 27,30 → purple
Now, we’ll go through every multiplication problem in the image and calculate it. Since all problems are “something × 3”, we can just multiply each number by 3.
Let’s list them out (we don’t need to describe the image — just solve each math problem):
Start with the ones we see:
→ 7×3 = 21 → green
→ 1×3 = 3 → yellow
→ 2×3 = 6 → yellow
→ 8×3 = 24 → green
→ 9×3 = 27 → purple
→ 6×3 = 18 → red
→ 5×3 = 15 → red
→ 4×3 = 12 → blue
→ 10×3 = 30 → purple
→ 3×3 = 9 → blue
Wait — let’s make sure we didn’t miss any. The image has many sections, but since they’re all variations of these same multiplications (like multiple “7×3”, “3×3”, etc.), we can group them by their answers.
Let’s double-check each possible product from 1×3 up to 10×3:
1×3 = 3 → yellow
2×3 = 6 → yellow
3×3 = 9 → blue
4×3 = 12 → blue
5×3 = 15 → red
6×3 = 18 → red
7×3 = 21 → green
8×3 = 24 → green
9×3 = 27 → purple
10×3 = 30 → purple
Perfect! That covers all the numbers that appear in the coloring sheet.
So now, whenever you see:
- “1×3” or “2×3” → color YELLOW
- “3×3” or “4×3” → color BLUE
- “5×3” or “6×3” → color RED
- “7×3” or “8×3” → color GREEN
- “9×3” or “10×3” → color PURPLE
You can go ahead and color each section accordingly.
Final Answer:
Color each section based on its multiplication result using this key:
• 3 or 6 → yellow
• 9 or 12 → blue
• 15 or 18 → red
• 21 or 24 → green
• 27 or 30 → purple
