Let’s solve each subtraction problem one by one. We’ll subtract the bottom number from the top number in each box.
---
1. 9 - 6 = 3
2. 8 - 4 = 4
3. 9 - 3 = 6
4. 7 - 6 = 1
5. 9 - 5 = 4
6. 7 - 4 = 3
7. 5 - 1 = 4
8. 6 - 0 = 6
9. 9 - 8 = 1
10. 7 - 2 = 5
11. 5 - 2 = 3
12. 9 - 5 = 4
13. 8 - 2 = 6
14. 8 - 7 = 1
15. 8 - 3 = 5
16. 8 - 5 = 3
17. 7 - 3 = 4
18. 7 - 1 = 6
19. 6 - 5 = 1
20. 6 - 1 = 5

Now, let’s check which answers are
odd and which are
even:
- Odd numbers: 1, 3, 5 → color these squares
pink
- Even numbers: 2, 4, 6 → color these squares
green
So here’s what to color:
✔ Pink (odd answers):
Problems with answers 1, 3, or 5 →
#1 (3), #4 (1), #6 (3), #9 (1), #10 (5), #11 (3), #14 (1), #15 (5), #16 (3), #19 (1), #20 (5)
✔ Green (even answers):
Problems with answers 2, 4, or 6 →
#2 (4), #3 (6), #5 (4), #7 (4), #8 (6), #12 (4), #13 (6), #17 (4), #18 (6)
Wait — let me double-check that list to make sure I didn’t miss any or miscount.
List of all answers again:
1. 3 → odd → pink
2. 4 → even → green
3. 6 → even → green
4. 1 → odd → pink
5. 4 → even → green
6. 3 → odd → pink
7. 4 → even → green
8. 6 → even → green
9. 1 → odd → pink
10. 5 → odd → pink
11. 3 → odd → pink
12. 4 → even → green
13. 6 → even → green
14. 1 → odd → pink
15. 5 → odd → pink
16. 3 → odd → pink
17. 4 → even → green
18. 6 → even → green
19. 1 → odd → pink
20. 5 → odd → pink
That’s 11 pink and 9 green — total 20. Correct.
Final Answer:
The correct answers for each problem are:
1. 3
2. 4
3. 6
4. 1
5. 4
6. 3
7. 4
8. 6
9. 1
10. 5
11. 3
12. 4
13. 6
14. 1
15. 5
16. 3
17. 4
18. 6
19. 1
20. 5
Color the boxes with
odd answers (1, 3, 5) pink.
Color the boxes with
even answers (2, 4, 6) green.
