Solve one-step equations to uncover the hidden picture in this engaging math activity.

This is a "Hidden Picture" worksheet designed to help students practice solving one-step equations. The goal is to solve the math problems in the key at the top, which correspond to specific colors. Then, you color the squares in the grid that contain the answers with their matching colors to reveal a hidden picture.

Here is the step-by-step solution:

Step 1: Understand the Color Key

The key at the top of the page assigns a color to each equation's answer:
- Pink (light red): `5 + 2 = 7`
- Blue: `2 x 3 = 6`
- Black: `8 ÷ 2 = 4`
- Pink (lighter pink): `3 x 3 = 9`
- Black: `8 + 0 = 8`
- Blue: `2 + 3 = 5`
- Light Pink (very light pink): `10 ÷ 5 = 2`
- Magenta (bright pink): `5 - 4 = 1`

So, the mapping is:
- Color: Pink (light red) → Number: 7
- Color: Blue → Number: 6
- Color: Black → Number: 4
- Color: Pink (lighter pink) → Number: 9
- Color: Black → Number: 8
- Color: Blue → Number: 5
- Color: Light Pink → Number: 2
- Color: Magenta → Number: 1

Note: There are two different shades of pink and two different shades of blue assigned to different numbers. However, for the purpose of revealing the hidden picture, we can group them as follows since they are distinct colors:
- Pink (light red): 7
- Blue (darker): 6
- Black: 4 and 8
- Pink (lighter): 9
- Blue (lighter): 5
- Light Pink: 2
- Magenta: 1

Step 2: Solve the Equations

All the equations are already solved in the key. We just need to use the answers to find the corresponding numbers in the grid.

Step 3: Color the Grid

We will now identify which numbers correspond to which colors and imagine coloring the grid accordingly.

- Color all squares with the number 7 with Pink (light red).
- Color all squares with the number 6 with Blue (darker).
- Color all squares with the number 4 or 8 with Black.
- Color all squares with the number 9 with Pink (lighter).
- Color all squares with the number 5 with Blue (lighter).
- Color all squares with the number 2 with Light Pink.
- Color all squares with the number 1 with Magenta.

Step 4: Reveal the Hidden Picture

By coloring the grid according to the key, a hidden picture will emerge. Let's analyze the grid to see what shape is formed.

Looking at the grid, we can see that the numbers are arranged in a way that when colored, they form a recognizable image. The most prominent numbers are 9, 5, 2, and 7, which appear in specific patterns.

After coloring the grid, the hidden picture revealed is a heart.

Final Answer

The hidden picture revealed by solving the one-step equations and coloring the grid according to the key is a heart.
