Art and Math - how do they fit together? Geometric shapes, ornamental patterns, and optical illusions surround children at every turn. They provide an unusual approach to art and mathematics. Students invent creative patterns, discover the principles of shapes and areas, compare and paint artistic ornaments, design a "magic carpet" with cord printing, examine the geometric blueprint of artworks, or see through optical illusions and puzzle images. In addition to interdisciplinary teaching sequences, a varied station setup encourages children to work independently. At 14 stations, they deepen their mathematical knowledge artistically. Numerous photocopiable templates and didactic tips make lesson planning easier for you.
