Let's solve this
"Color by Code" worksheet step by step.
---
🔷 Objective:
This is a
color-by-code math activity where you:
1. Solve the addition problems in each shape.
2. Use the sum to determine the correct color based on the code.
3. Color each section accordingly.

🎨 Color Code Key:
-
20, 18 = green
-
16, 14 = red
-
12, 10 = blue
-
8, 6 = yellow
-
4, 2 = brown

✔ Step 1: Solve Each Addition Problem
We’ll go through all the addition expressions and compute their sums:
| Expression | Sum |
|----------|-----|
| 5+5 | 10 |
| 6+6 | 12 |
| 7+7 | 14 |
| 8+8 | 16 |
| 9+9 | 18 |
| 10+10 | 20 |
| 3+3 | 6 |
| 4+4 | 8 |
| 2+2 | 4 |
| 1+1 | 2 |
Now let’s assign colors based on the sums.

🌈 Step 2: Assign Colors Based on Sums
Using the code:
-
20, 18 → green
-
16, 14 → red
-
12, 10 → blue
-
8, 6 → yellow
-
4, 2 → brown
So:
| Sum | Color |
|-----|-----------|
| 20 | green |
| 18 | green |
| 16 | red |
| 14 | red |
| 12 | blue |
| 10 | blue |
| 8 | yellow |
| 6 | yellow |
| 4 | brown |
| 2 | brown |

🔍 Step 3: Apply Colors to Shapes
Now, go through each shape in the image and color it based on its sum:
#### 🔹 Green (20 or 18):
- 10+10 → 20 →
green
- 9+9 → 18 →
green
→ All shapes with
10+10 or
9+9 should be colored
green
#### 🔴 Red (16 or 14):
- 8+8 → 16 →
red
- 7+7 → 14 →
red
→ All
8+8 and
7+7 →
red
#### 🔵 Blue (12 or 10):
- 6+6 → 12 →
blue
- 5+5 → 10 →
blue
→ All
6+6 and
5+5 →
blue
#### 🟡 Yellow (8 or 6):
- 4+4 → 8 →
yellow
- 3+3 → 6 →
yellow
→ All
4+4 and
3+3 →
yellow
#### 🟫 Brown (4 or 2):
- 2+2 → 4 →
brown
- 1+1 → 2 →
brown
→ All
2+2 and
1+1 →
brown

✔ Final Coloring Instructions:
| Expression | Color |
|-----------|-----------|
| 10+10 | green |
| 9+9 | green |
| 8+8 | red |
| 7+7 | red |
| 6+6 | blue |
| 5+5 | blue |
| 4+4 | yellow |
| 3+3 | yellow |
| 2+2 | brown |
| 1+1 | brown |

🖼️ Visual Result (What You Should See):
When colored correctly, the pattern will form a
geometric design, possibly resembling a
star or flower-like shape, with:
-
Green: large outer areas (from 10+10 and 9+9)
-
Red: middle sections (8+8 and 7+7)
-
Blue: many triangular and diamond-shaped sections (5+5 and 6+6)
-
Yellow: smaller central parts (3+3 and 4+4)
-
Brown: very small center pieces (1+1 and 2+2)
> This activity helps reinforce
doubles addition facts while making learning fun!
