Pre-Calculus by Design

Pre-Calculus by Design contains 42 activity pages covering topics such as solving exponential and logarithmic equations, graphing parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas, finding the angles and sides of general triangles using the law of sines and the law of cosines, writing complex numbers in trigonometric form, and finding the limits of sequences and functions. The book employs a search-and-shade technique that rewards students for their efforts, while allowing them to self-check their work. Each page contains exercises with shading codes that students use to shade a grid labeled with the answers. If the answers are correct, a symmetrical design emerges. Teachers have permission to copy the pages for classroom use, and an answer key is provided. 50 pages.
