Each teacher who is planning to use Algebra II Topics by Design should examine each page of exercises to determine if they are suitable for his or her students. Often a few minutes of review or a short discussion of topics new to students will enable them to complete a set of exercises successfully. The format of Algebra II Topics by Design is the same as for our other “design” books. Students work the exercises and search for the answers on a grid. Each square containing an answer is shaded according to a shading code shown for that exercise. If the answers are correct and the grid is shaded correctly, a pleasing design emerges. Students are highly motivated by this connection between math and art. Teachers are given permission to reproduce the pages of all our “design” books for classroom use. 42 activity pages. A solution key is provided.
