Colour by code maths for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 (KS1, ages 5-7): 10 colouring worksheets that practise addition and subtraction within 10. Pupils solve each calculation, use the colour code (2 = pink, 4 = orange, 6 = purple, 8 = green, 10 = yellow) and colour the picture. A cheerful, self-checking activity for early number fluency.

The pictures are cute magical animals: the Fox Wizard, the Hungry Dragon, the Astronaut Cat, the Owl Witch, the Camping Bear, the Pirate Raccoon and more. The sums, such as 4 + 2, 8 - 2 or 5 + 5, are written inside the picture, and areas without a maths problem stay white.
