How it works

Each square in the grid holds a multiplication fact. Students find the product, look up that answer on the color key, and color the square to match.

About this Bear multiplication coloring page

This Bear page turns multiplication practice into a mystery picture. Students solve each of the multiplication facts, match the answer to the color key, and fill in the square, so the picture only appears when the work is right.

How to use it

Pair it with a short mini-lesson, then let students work at their own pace. Print the worksheet, and use the finished picture to check the work.

Skills and standards

This page supports multiplication fact fluency. It lines up with Common Core standard 3.OA.C.7 (fluently multiply within 100). It is typically used with students in grades 3-5.

Teacher tip

Ask students to say each fact out loud as they solve it. Hearing the fact helps it stick, and it makes a good partner activity.
