Pixel Puzzle Picture
What am I learning?
*To create a pixel puzzle picture.
How can I make sure I am successful?
*I have a key next to my grid.
*I have numbers in each box that align with the key.
Activity description/steps:
Print or draw a 16x16 grid (16 squares across and 16 squares down). If you have maths paper at home, this will make it easier!
Look at the pumpkin example. Your goal is to create a grid with numbers in each box. You must write a key on the side so the person that colours it understands what to do. For example, if the key says 5=blue, someone would colour all the boxes with the number 5 in it blue.
Using the ladybug pixel picture as a guide, create a key and corresponding grid.
Give the grid to someone in your house to colour. Were they able to follow your key and colour in a ladybug?
Extras for early finishers
Create your own pixel puzzle.
