My Project

Elementary educators are expected to teach it all! From addition to algorithms, art to anatomy, and everything in between. I strive to make meaningful connections across subjects. When math and art come together, my fourth graders are inspired to apply artful thinking to math and creativity. My students will connect abstract math concepts to hands-on artistic expression, deepening their understanding in both subjects.

We’ll dive into Cubism, exploring how artists like Picasso used geometric shapes, symmetry, and spatial reasoning—concepts we’re already tackling in math.

My students thrive when learning feels joyful and creative. They light up when art becomes part of the lesson, and they gain confidence as they express themselves visually. These supplies will give them the tools they need to think deeply, create boldly, and maybe even clean up their own paint splatters along the way.

Math-terpieces: The Art of Problem-Solving is the perfect match to inspire my fourth graders and bring their math learning to life through art and carpet spot remover will save the day because creative messes are part of the masterpiece-making process! We appreciate you helping us turn math into masterpieces, and messes into memories!
