I used a lot of vocabulary to connect this project back to the students TEKS. Practice Multiplication with Simple Spirolateral Math Art. For the Love of Art: 6th Grade: Frank Stella Protractor Series. We've been studying Frank Stella's Protractor Series.

For the Love of Art: 6th Grade: Frank Stella Protractor Series

After learning about the artist and analyzing his work through a PowerPoint, students began drawing their own designs using a pencil, protractor, and ruler. Next day, students outlined their design with sharpie, and started coloring with colored pencil. I had several students tell me this was the most favorite project they've ever done... they are easy to please! Frank Stella's Protractor Series. Math Art for Kids: Pi Skyline. Symmetrical Paper Cut Aliens! This lesson is based on symmetry so as far as teaching kids cool subjects, this one is perfect.

Symmetrical Paper Cut Aliens!

In my opinion, there is nothing more pleasing to the ear than hearing a six year old explain symmetry, let alone saying it. It’s a fun word…lots of syllables that when spoken correctly (or very near to it) earns a pretty respected look from parents and teachers. Kids LOVE this word.So now turn the word into creepy, strange, whimsical ALIEN and you have one hour of pure joy on your hands. Step One: Creating the Alien. Not easy for wee kids, but the older they are, the easier it’ll be to teach. Second option: For older kids, give them a pair of scissors and instruct them to create their half of an alien body just by cutting. Step Two: Decorating the Alien It really helps to have small scraps of paper (get out your scrap box), sequins, googly eyes, plastic and aluminum gizmos…anything that the kids can use to decorate their aliens.

What I love about this project is anyone can be successful and create a beautiful masterpiece. The steps to create this art work: 1. 8 1/2 X 11 White computer paper. 2. Fold the paper in half. 3. Fold in half again and stand up, make sure the crease is at the base. 4. Still in the folded position, fold the corner in to make a triangle. 5. Compass Math Art: Round and Round.

DIY Geoboard with Fabric Loops – Crayon Box Chronicles

We love finding interesting ways to learn shapes and colors. Our DIY geoboard is durable, educational, and sets-up in a snap. This project has been a long-time coming for me, probably two years. I wanted to wait until C was three and had a basic understanding of shapes. He’s fanatical about shapes and colors, so I knew he’d gravitate to it! What is a geoboard? A geoboard is a manipulative tool used to explore basic concepts in geometry such as shapes, angles, measurement, area, and perimeter. To create our simple DIY geoboard, you’ll need the following materials: Pegboard(2) Flat Screws, 1/4 in – 20 x 1 in, 50 packNuts, 1/4 in – 20, 100 packFabric Loops We purchased our pegboard, screws, and nuts from Home Depot.

Remember fabric loops? To begin, insert the screw from the bottom of the pegboard through the holes and screw the nut on top of the board (white side).
