Why multiplication color by number works
A child answers 144 facts to finish one picture, which is more than three ordinary worksheets, and a wrong answer shows up as a square of the wrong color. Because each color covers three answers, the picture cannot be guessed from the first few squares.

The 2 to 9 times tables, multiplied by 2 to 9. Each color stands for three answers, so the same color comes from several different facts.
