Mystery Picture Math

These mystery picture math worksheets will provide endless hours of fun. Solve all the sums to reveal the hidden mystery image.

How it works

Inside each product, you’ll find a blank starting sheet with a 10-10 grid of numbers from 1-100. There are a number of math sums on each worksheet. When you solve a sum, the resulting number can be shaded on on the answers sheet. As a sum is ‘5 + 5′, then the answer would be ’10’, so you shade in the number 10.

Continue until all sums are solved and the mystery hidden image is revealed. That’s it!
