Instructions
Take a sheet of paper towel and fold it in half like a greeting card.
On the top of the paper towel, write math equations in permanent marker -- as many as you'd like or can fit on the sheet. Leave the answer space blank.
On the bottom half, directly beneath the blank space you left for the answer to each problem, write the answer in a colorful washable marker.
Add water to a dish, just enough to cover the bottom.
When you place the folded paper towel in the dish of water, the answers to the equations will appear!
