Challenge your students to master Mixed Operations this summer with a fun, creative twist!

As we approach the end of the school year or jump into summer school, students need to go beyond simple calculations. This Summer Color by Code pack focuses on Mixed Addition and Subtraction within 20, requiring students to pay close attention to operational signs while building their mental math fluency. It’s the perfect blend of rigorous 1st and 2nd Grade math standards and seasonal artistic fun.

This resource is a "must-have" for any teacher looking to prevent the "summer slide." It works beautifully as a morning work routine, a high-interest math station, or a quiet activity for early finishers. By solving these mixed equations, students strengthen their problem-solving skills and fine motor development all at once.

What is included in this comprehensive 16-page set:

8 Student Activity Pages: Featuring detailed, hand-drawn summer illustrations (beach scenes, ocean creatures, and summer treats) with a mix of addition and subtraction problems using sums and differences up to 20.

8 Full-Color Answer Keys: Designed for instant visual grading or to be used as a self-check guide for students to promote independent learning.

Why this Mixed Practice resource stands out:

Cognitive Challenge: Switching between addition and subtraction within the same page reinforces true math fact fluency.

Level Up: Specifically designed for the transition from First Grade to Second Grade (within 20).

Zero Prep, High Engagement: Just select your pages and you are ready for Summer School, ESY, or End of the Year celebrations.
