Step 1: Read the objective of the project below.

 * ====Objective: Students will create a design (using positive and negative space) in a 10 x 10 grid and then describe and compare the positive and negative space with fractions, decimals and percents.====

Step 2: Review the requirements and rubric for the project below. A sample final product is pictured below.
