Choose a picture
Solve the sums, color the squares, and a New Year's picture appears. There are ten New Year's 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.
New Year's is a fresh start, and a seasonal sheet suits the first week back in January or the last afternoon before the break: it is one page, it is quiet, and it ends in something to put on the wall. Print a stack with Pages set to the size of the group and the pictures match for display while every child's sums differ.
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 New Year's picture with every answer written in its square.

Frequently asked questions
Which pictures are in the New Year's set?
There are ten New Year's 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.
Can I use this for a New Year's countdown or party?
Yes. It is one page of 168 squares, so it fits a party table or a countdown afternoon without a long setup. Choose a picture, print enough pages for the group, and hang the finished pictures side by side.
How do I make a New Year's sheet easier or harder?
Change First number and Second number. Smaller numbers, such as 0 to 5, give a New Year's sheet that suits early learners; the full 0 to 9 gives sums up to 18. The picture stays the same and the problems change.
