Step-by-step solution for: Math Coloring Pages from Coloring Squared
This is a color-by-number rounding puzzle where you determine the color of each square based on which number it rounds to. The goal is to round each number in the grid to the nearest hundred, then use the key to color the squares accordingly.
---
We are given a key:
| Rounds to | Color |
|----------|--------|
| 400 | Black |
| 500 | Brown |
| 600 | Blue |
| 700 | Green |
| Blank | White |
> Rule: Round each number to the nearest hundred.
> - If a number is closer to 400, color it Black
> - Closer to 500 → Brown
> - Closer to 600 → Blue
> - Closer to 700 → Green
> - If the number is already in a blank cell (no number), leave it white
Let’s understand how rounding works:
- Numbers from 350–449 round to 400
- Numbers from 450–549 round to 500
- Numbers from 550–649 round to 600
- Numbers from 650–749 round to 700
So:
- Black: 350–449
- Brown: 450–549
- Blue: 550–649
- Green: 650–749
Now let's analyze the pattern and see what image forms.
But since the image is already partially colored, we can infer that this activity has already been completed — but perhaps you want me to verify the coloring or explain how it works.
Let’s do a few examples:
---
1. Number: 587
- 587 → rounds to 600 → Blue ✔ (matches blue)
2. Number: 483
- 483 → rounds to 500 → Brown ✔ (matches brown)
3. Number: 698
- 698 → rounds to 700 → Green ✔ (matches green)
4. Number: 367
- 367 → rounds to 400 → Black ✔ (matches black)
5. Number: 428
- 428 → rounds to 400 → Black ✔
6. Number: 552
- 552 → rounds to 600 → Blue ✔
7. Number: 735
- 735 → rounds to 700 → Green ✔
All match!

The title says "Unicorn", so when you color all the squares correctly, the image should reveal a unicorn.
From the current coloring:
- Blue (550–649): likely the sky or background
- Brown (450–549): possibly the body or mane
- Green (650–749): grass or horn?
- Black (350–449): details like eyes, hooves, or shadow
- White (blank): highlights or background
Looking at the shape formed by the colors:
- The blue area dominates the top left, forming a sky-like backdrop.
- The brown region forms a central shape resembling a head or body.
- Green appears in the bottom right, suggesting grass.
- Black accents might be eyes or details.
- The white blanks form the outline of the unicorn’s horn and face.
When properly colored, this reveals a unicorn silhouette with a horn, mane, and body.
