Choose a picture
Solve the sums, color the squares, and a Cinco de Mayo picture appears. There are ten Cinco de Mayo pictures to choose from, shown finished in the gallery above the sheet, so you can see what the sheet will make before you print. Every square holds an addition fact with a sum up to 18, and a key at the top lists which answers get which color.
Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May, marks the Mexican army's victory at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. It is celebrated more widely in the United States than in most of Mexico, and it is not Mexican Independence Day, which is September 16. These sheets are for a class celebration, a Spanish lesson or an evening at home, with the same addition facts the site draws everywhere.
The key lists exact answers rather than ranges, so each square has to be worked out, not guessed, and no answer belongs to two colors. Each print deals a fresh set of problems into the picture you chose. Set Pages for a stack of different sheets, and tick Answer key to get the finished, colored-in Cinco de Mayo picture with every answer written in its square.

Frequently asked questions
Which pictures are in the Cinco de Mayo set?
There are ten Cinco de Mayo pictures, shown finished in the gallery above the worksheet. Click one to choose it and the sheet below changes to that picture. The Picture list in the settings offers the same ten, among every other holiday's.
Is Cinco de Mayo Mexican Independence Day?
No. Cinco de Mayo, May 5, marks the Mexican army's victory at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Mexican Independence Day is September 16. These sheets are for the May holiday, and the addition practice is the same whichever picture you choose.
Can I print a Cinco de Mayo sheet in black and white?
Yes. The key names every color in words as well as showing a swatch, so a black and white printout of a Cinco de Mayo sheet works as well as a color one. The picture appears when the squares are colored in.
