  • Activity 1 offers physical models (using available materials) and easy-to-follow instructions to help learners seek patterns.
  • Activity 2 uses pictorial models like diagrams, tables, and graphs to further help students retain and test what they have learned.
  • Activity 3 encourages exploration and application of newly learned concepts and skills through cooperative games, puzzles, problems, and graphic calculator or computer activities.
For quick access and easy use, all materials are organized into five major sections and printed in a big 8 1/4" x 11" lay-flat binding for easy photocopying. Following is just a small sample of the many activities featured in each section:
