1.Pedagogical Impetus

Why am I doing this?

“Math is conveyed as a really hard subject that is uninteresting, inaccessible and only for ‘nerds’...”

- Jo Boaler, Mathematical Mindsets

The Battle I Fight

✗ That students are born with innate mathematical ability

✗ That parents use the phrase “That’s ok, I wasn’t good at math either”

✗ Colleagues, that through no fault of their own, perpetuate the idea that there are Math People

5http://bit.ly/FTLOMACSPadlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS

Math == CREATIVEMath is messy. Math is language. Math is more.

Week of Inspirational Math

Attitude trumps quantity.

3.Ideas

mARTh in Action

http://bit.ly/FTLOMACSPadlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS

One Cut Geometry

Problem solving at its finest.

We identify strategies, even in problems that are difficult to solve.

We also identify shape and line within the same project, and create 2 dimensional pieces of art.

22http://bit.ly/FTLOMACSPadlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS

Geometric Frankenstein’s Monster

Easy as identifying shapes in the art we make.

The beauty of geometric constraints.

The assessment is in the description.

23http://bit.ly/FTLOMACSPadlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS

Stamping By Ten

Quantity relationships are hard.

Understanding what ten more is even more difficult when dealing with bigger numbers.

We stamp, and stamp again. Using sponge carving to create 3D tools.

24http://bit.ly/FTLOMACSPadlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS

Symmetry on Black

Symmetry may be the easiest entrance to art and math.

Any design that is symmetrical is pleasing to the eye, and creates a way to assess both math and art.

25http://bit.ly/FTLOMACSPadlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS

Let’s Cut Fractals

A way to create a three dimensional art piece that creates many entrances to assessing math skills, like estimation, multiplication, and problem solving.

26http://bit.ly/FTLOMACSPadlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS

There are so many ways

Find a piece you like

Apply the Curricula

Have Fun!
