Arithmetic by Design (UK Edition)
Self-marking arithmetic with the search n shade method
Arithmetic by Design is one of a series of books that use a "search n shade" technique. It makes learning and reinforcing mathematical concepts enjoyable, and it rewards accurate working.
Students use a shading code to shade a grid that contains the answers to the exercises. If the answers are correct, a symmetrical design develops: a pupil can check their own work without an answer key. In practice, an uneven pattern shows exactly where an answer needs a second look.
48 arithmetic activities on fractions, decimals and percentages
The book contains 48 one-page activities covering whole numbers, decimals, fractions and percentages. Each activity fits on a single page: it works as a lesson starter, a homework sheet or independent practice at home.
A UK edition with a full contents list
This UK edition translates currency values, problem language and detail into UK English. It preserves exactly what the problems achieve in their attractive, self-marking patterns.
