Celebrate Math Art!

Math Art = a great way to start the school year, or to spark energy when you hit the mathematical doldrums.

As children learn to visualize shapes, designs, and patterns, it makes them better at math. Even topics like algebra can be surprisingly visual.

Art lets kids experiment with geometric shapes and symmetries. They can feel their way into math ideas through informal play. As they draw, students explore a wide range of mathematical structures and relationships.

Math doodles allow a student’s mind to relax, wander, and come back to its work refreshed. And though it goes against intuition, doodling helps people remember more of what they learn.

And art is one of the most replayable of all math activities. Have you noticed how professional artists love to tinker with their creations? Even a slight change produces delightful new variations. Come back to each math art prompt and enjoy the adventure of exploring possibilities.
