How it works
Each square in the grid holds a subtraction problem. Students find the difference, look up that answer on the color key, and color the square to match.
About this Halloween Frankenshroom subtraction coloring page
This Halloween Frankenshroom page turns subtraction practice into a mystery picture. Students solve each of the subtraction 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 subtraction fact fluency. It lines up with Common Core standard 1.OA.C.6 and 2.NBT.B.5 (subtract within 20 and within 100). It is typically used with students in grades 1-3.
Teacher tip
Teach students to check by adding back. If 15 minus 7 is 8, then 8 plus 7 should make 15.
