hen I was teaching, my students continually begged me to give them geometric design worksheets to color. I threw
up my hands, lamenting that they spent hours coloring designs but wouldn’t spend 15 minutes memorizing basic math facts. It was Adam who made this
brilliant remark: “Why doesn’t someone make
designs with math facts in them? Then you could
be sure we’d learn them!” This book is for all of
your students, like Adam, who are fascinated by art
and geometric design and beg for more.
