To solve this puzzle, we need to find which multiplication problems have an
odd answer. Then, those are the shapes you should color or shade in.
Here is the rule to remember:
*
Even × Any Number = Even (If one of the numbers is even like 2, 4, 6, 8, the answer will always be even).
*
Odd × Odd = Odd (The answer is only odd if
both numbers being multiplied are odd).

Summary of sections to color:
You should shade in the areas containing these specific equations:
* $7 \times 9$
* $7 \times 7$
* $5 \times 5$
* $5 \times 9$
* $7 \times 5$
* $7 \times 3$
* $7 \times 11$
* $5 \times 11$
Final Answer:
The areas to color are the ones with the equations:
7 x 9,
7 x 7,
5 x 5,
5 x 9,
7 x 5,
7 x 3,
7 x 11, and
5 x 11.
