Compute a Design
by Patricia Wright
Paper and Pencil Math Using the Search and Shade Technique
Correlation With Up With Math
The activities of each Compute a Design book correlate directly with the content of the popular title Up With Math described on page 5 of this catalog. Because of this correlation, Compute a Design is an excellent supplement to the Up With Math program.
The Search n Shade Method
Each activity page requires students to work exercises which challenge their knowledge of basic concepts or their computational and problem solving skills. A shading code is shown beside each exercise. Students search for the answers on a grid and shade squares containing the answers. Excitement mounts as a clever symmetrical design emerges.
Percent
- Basic concepts, decimals as percents, percents as decimals, percents as fractions, fractions as percents
- Three cases: percent of a number, unknown percent, unknown number
- 48 pages of activities including 14 pages of applied problems
- 15 exercises per page except for applied problems
A Delightful Alternative
- A fresh approach to drill and practice
- A clever way to relate math and art
- A built-in incentive for students to get correct answers
- A self-checking approach to computation
Solution Key
A Solution Key is provided for the teacher in each book. The completed designs and the answers to all exercises are displayed. Permission to Duplicate
