In this unique collection of math activities, students solve computational questions, equations, word problems, and puzzles to find coordinates -- then connect the coordinates to create a cartoon image! Extensions for some activities require students to add to or change the pictures and record new coordinates. Topics include: -- operations with integers -- decimals and fractions -- greatest common factor -- math puzzles -- magic squares -- symmetry Reproducible. Includes blank graph pages.

Engage students in grades 3–5 and build their confidence using Coordinate Graphing: Hidden Pictures. This 80-page book provides hands-on activities for each week of the school year and ways to differentiate instruction while teaching essential, standards-based graphing skills! Students plot ordered pairs and draw line segments to reveal hidden pictures while creative clues encourage guesses along the way. This resource provides practice for first-quadrant and four-quadrant graphing, teaches graphing vocabulary, and includes up to five questions about each graph. It supports NCTM standards and aligns with state, national, and Canadian provincial standards.

Tired of teaching coordinate graphing the same old way? Students make pictures while practicing their coordinate graphing skills. Students will know when they make a mistake and students will be able to self-correct. This resource book consists of differentiated coordinate graphs of holidays and the four seasons, graphing paper, contains the full-size pictures that can be used as an over-lay so that the teacher can check a student's work easily and fast.

This book follows a cookbook style approach that puts orthogonal and non-redundant recipes in your hands. Rather than rehashing the user manual, the explanations expose the underlying logic behind Matplotlib. If you are an engineer or scientist who wants to create great visualizations with Python, rather than yet another specialized language, this is the book for you. While there are several very competent plotting packages, Matplotlib is just a Python module. Thus, if you know some Python already, you will feel at home from the first steps on. In case you are an application writer, you won't be left out since the integration of Matplolib is covered.

"This poignant novel in verse crystallizes a boy's worries about his father, MIA in Vietnam. His family, new best friend, and a bully unexpectedly all help Jack find the courage to do the right thing, not the easy thing."--Amazon.com.

This book is a means to allow the child to be involved in the artistic process, to be not merely a passive consumer but to be part of the creative process, which goes along with the new trend in educationto learn to produce, which is an important part of the learning process. It also goes along with the newest trend in education, which promotes STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. The book teaches the old adage It is better to give than to receive. It is also about our misconceptions. I think its fun to read, even for the adult who would most often be reading the book to a child.
