Jacobs Publishing "Design" Books

These are a series of books that use a search and shade technique. Students use a shading code to shade a grid on which answers to exercises are found. It the excercise answers are correct, a symmetrical design develops.
   
Symmetry in the Coordinate Plane
$19.95
By Russell F. Jacobs. New in 2009, " Symmetry in the Coordinate Plane " contains 24 pairs of activity pages covering topics such as arithmetic operations on integers, order of operations, and solving equations. In each activity, students work a set of exercises that define a set of ordered pairs of numbers. These are located as labeled points in the coordinate plane. Directions are followed to connect the points, from which a design emerges, rewarding students for their efforts while allowing them to self-check their work. Teachers have permission to copy the pages for classroom use, and an answer key is provided. Grades 5-9.

Designs in the Coordinate Plane
$19.95
By Russell F. Jacobs. Introduced in 2006, "Designs in the Coordinate Plane" brings a whole new twist to Jacobs Publishing's popular "Design" series. The student works math exercises which define ordered pairs of numbers that are then located as points in a cordinate plane. The student follows directions to connect the points so that a geometric design emerges. The mathematics exercises are at the level of first-year algebra and provide good review of order of operations, signed numbers, solving equtions, and more. Conatins 25 activities.
