Introduction

5

?? ??? ?

The inspiration for this book came as I observed the motivation my students displayed whilesearching for hidden pictures in one of their favorite magazines. The introduction of math skills to the hidden picture format added a new dimension to puzzle-solving fun. After watching my students predict what hidden picture would appear, solve the problems, and then enthusiasticallyanticipate the results as they colored spaces to reveal the picture, I knew I had found a winningcombination—one that made math meaningful and exciting. In addition, these activities coordinatewith the standards recommended by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) fornumbers and operations. As your own students solve these hidden picture puzzles, they’ll practiceessential numeration and computation skills—while having fun along the way!

How To Use This BookUsing the activity pages in this book is simple! Each page includes a hidden picture puzzle, a clueabout the mystery picture, and a color key. To solve the puzzle, students read the clue and thensolve the problems on the picture. When finished, they use the color key to color the spaces. Asthey color, the hidden picture (which might be upright, sideways, or upside down) is revealed—making the activity self-checking! Finally, students write the answer to the puzzle on the line. Theycan check their answers in the Answers section in the back of the book.

The pages in this book are divided into five sections: Numeration, Addition, Subtraction,Multiplication, and Division. To find the skill you’d like students to practice, simply check the table ofcontents. You’ll find a wide range of skills featured on the hidden picture puzzles, from place valueand three-digit addition and subtraction to mixed facts for multiplication and division.

Taking It FurtherTo extend learning or add another element of interest, try these activities:

• Have students create their own hidden picture puzzles. To make one, students tracearound a simple figure like a circle, triangle, or square (or they might trace cookie cuttershapes). Then they add other shapes to the page, overlapping their first shape with partsof the new shapes. As they work, remind them to leave room inside each shape for amath problem. After filling in the problems, students make a color key. When finished,invite students to exchange puzzles and solve them.

• Give students paper printed with a large grid (one-inch squares work well). Ask them to create a design using the grid blocks. Have them fill in the grids with math problems, make a color key, and then exchange and solve the puzzles.

• Invite two students to work on a hidden picture puzzle together. Simply have one studentsolve a problem and the other check the answer with a calculator. The partners can taketurns solving and checking until the puzzle is completed.

• After students complete the hidden picture puzzle, invite them to add their own creativetouch by drawing details on the picture. Alternatively, they might change the color key touse colors of their choice to color the picture.
