Book Description
Math Art is a supplemental, arts-integrated mathematics curriculum. The purpose of Math Art is to help teachers introduce, reinforce, or expand upon the topics their students are required to learn. Furthermore, by blending the subjects of mathematics and art, Math Art is capable of motivating students, decreasing classroom discipline problems, increasing student retention of knowledge, and assisting the instruction of visual learners, kinesthetic learners, and English Language Learners. Each of the book's math activities require students to create an aesthetically-pleasing project that focuses on a fundamental or "broad" mathematical topic (perimeter, volume, symmetry, angles, etc.).
