Geometric Art
A great way to get students excited about math is by integrating creative learning experiences into the lesson. This project incorporates math concepts with the visual arts, specifically, the artwork of Auguste Herbin (a French modern painter best known for his abstract designs composed of geometric figures). This project is ideally done at the end of a math lesson on geometric shapes or other mathematical concepts such as: area, perimeter, angles and circumference.
In addition to the vide

Overlapping Geometric Shapes
A great way to get students excited about math is by integrating creative learning experiences into the lesson. This project incorporates math concepts (geometric shapes) with the visual arts. It can be done at the end of a unit to showcase the students' learning in an artful way.
In addition to the video, this lesson also includes downloadable lesson plans, extended learning opportunities, project templates, and reflection sheet.

Teach Math with Art - Geometry and Pattern with Mandalas
I have been working on a teaching resource that uses art to teach math and math to teach art. This video demonstrates a hands-on art project that you can use to create a beautiful design that connects to geometry and patterning, and to some degree number sense. Rotational symmetry inherently demonstrates the art principals of pattern, rhythm, and unity/harmony. Mandalas are both calm and dynamic at the same time. Some designs create an effect of rotation, while others are more of an explosion. T

Paper Plate Angles: Reinforcing Angles and Angle Measurement
Here's a fun and creative way to teach and reinforce angles and angle measurement.
This common core mathematics lesson uses simple things like paper plates, rulers, glue, tissue paper, and protractors to have students predict a variety of angle measurements then use the protractor to verify the angles. This is a great problem-solving activity as students work together to determine the exact center of the paper plate. Their communication skills are honed as they share out and justify their s

Spiral Forms in Nature
(New for school year 2015-2016)
This video shows a series of (logarithmic) spiral forms in nature as an opening to the study of all kinds of patterns the teacher could introduce. A good overview of the spiral and patterns in general can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_spiral (note list of natural phenomena) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterns_in_nature
There of course are natural forms that replicate basic geometric forms like cones, lozenges, ovals, and spheres
