PROBLEM SOLVING > COLOR BY NUMBERS COLOR BY MATH ANSWERS PAGE TK TO COMPLETE THIS PUZZLE, YOU’LL NEED TO GRAB YOUR CRAYONS OR YOUR FAVORITE COLOR PENCILS. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the exact colors shown here; the hidden picture you will reveal will still make sense if you swap some of them for different colors. In a typical color-by-number puzzle, you would use a color key to figure out which number goes with which color and then shade every area with the same number in it the same color. This color-by-number puzzle works the same WORD SEARCH way, except that here you need to flex your math muscles to figure out which color each region should be! ROUNDABOUT ANSWERS PAGE TK Some shapes are already shaded brown or have no number inside; don’t color those in. For all the other shapes, here are the coloring rules: THIS WHOPPING WORD SEARCH IS HIDING THE NAMES OF 40 CIRCULAR OBJECTS. How many can you find in 10 multiples of 4 which are minutes? Words can be written in any direction, including diagonally, and can be hidden either forward not also multiples of 8 multiples of 9 THREE or backward.
