Our administration has told me that I already have several students asking for my class next quarter so they can make more! The students used graphing to plan their project. Using ancient technology (paper and pencil), they colored in the squares and then used math to figure out the area of the project. They had fun not even realizing they were reinforcing math skills during the first week of school!\r\n\r\nMany of my students remarked they had never thought there could be that many beads in a single place! All students were able to create the work of art, and they loved knowing they did not have to be great at drawing to be successful at making this work. Many talked about where they were going to place it in their homes or who they made the artwork for in their lives. \r\n\r\nOur students were so grateful for the chance to make this awesome art, and the math teachers were so excited to see the students recognizing how to read a graph and how to plot on a line. Science is our next subject tie-in, with students learning how patterns are found in nature and how they help animals camouflage in the wild.","fullyFundedDate":1775014229777,"projectUrl":"project/creating-with-art-while-learning-math/9960925/","projectTitle":"Creating with Art While Learning Math","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. MIller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp328188_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1588276315318","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/328188"},{"teacherId":328188,"projectId":9207394,"letterContent":"❤️ We are so grateful for the generous support that has brought new resources into our art classroom.
