Today we finished our recent math and art project. We focused on concepts of measurement, symmetry, patterning, and fractions. Initially students works to measure and cut the foam tiles, and to create a grid on their posterboard. Then they worked individually to create patterns that fulfilled a set of requirements. Once they had designed a pattern on their own boards, they then teamed up with another student and created entirely new patterns. Finally these pairs linked up with another pair of students to create a four panel piece of art. As you can imagine, this required considerable discussion and exchanging of ideas. The finished products are quite impressive. Stop ya and check them out in person.
