Choose a picture
Solve the sums, color the squares, and a Chinese New Year picture appears. This page is for the holiday under both of its names, Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year. There are ten Chinese New Year 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.
Chinese New Year (Lunar New Year) is celebrated across many communities, and its date changes from year to year, so these pages are written to be printed when you need them: for a class celebration, a weekend language school, or a family at home. The practice is 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 Chinese New Year picture with every answer written in its square.
