40+ Fun Art Projects to Build Amazing Math Skills
KARYN TRIPP
When I was young, math was my hardest subject, but I did love art. I never realized how much they had in common until later in life.
I really did not like math at first. I remember crying over it often as a kid. I was so relieved when I was finished taking my last math class in college, thinking I would be finished with it forever! When I started homeschooling my kids, I saw that this would not be the case. It was when my own kids started telling me that they hated math that I really thought hard about how to teach it in new ways. It was important to me that my kids did not have the same feelings about math that I always did.
I started making math into an activity instead of just a worksheet. I came up with games and projects that were engaging so my kids could grasp the harder concepts without tears. It brings me so much joy to help a child delight in learning. Along the way, I fell in love with math.
My biggest hope is that this book can help you do the same with your kids or your students.
There are many opportunities in these projects for kids to be original and innovative. Dont be afraid to let them express themselves in their own artistic ways.
We always hear how important it is to know and understand math. Its used in life in so many ways. When you can find a little joy and meaning in math, theres less fear of it. In this book, I teach you different ways its used in real life. Artists use it in their work, bakers use it in their recipes, and architects use it in their designs. These art projects will help you bring some excitement to your math lessons by getting creative and messy with math!
Math is more than just numbers. Knowing math helps you to create and solve problems. Plus, when you add a creative element to your equations, they will be more meaningful and memorable.
This book is geared towards kids ages 8 to 12. I have two kids in that age range, and they did each project along with me as I worked on this book. It made me smile to see how much fun they had.
The most important thing I want to you understand from this book is that math really and truly can be enjoyable. So get ready to have fun and create some amazing art!

Throughout this book, well be talking about several key math concepts. Youll see some of the following terms in the Math in Action lists and project instructions. Heres what they mean!
Addition: Determining the total of two or more numbers. For example, 1 + 3 = 4.
Angles: The spaces between intersecting lines. Theyre usually measured in degrees.
Area: How much space a surface takes up. For example, to find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width. To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height and then divide it by 2.
Balance: Evenly distributed weight. When something is balanced, both of its sides will have the same mass or quantity.
Concentric circles: A series of circles that share the same center but are different sizes.
Coordinate plane : A grid with two intersecting perpendicular number lines. It is used to plot points with x and y coordinates.
Counting: Starting at a number and increasing it or decreasing it by the same amount every time. For example, to determine the number of items in a group, you can count them.
Diameter of a circle: The length of a straight line passing through the center of a circle.
Dimensions: Length, depth, and width. A two-dimensional (or flat) object has two dimensions, and a three- dimensional object has all three.
Fraction: Part of a number, written with one number on top of another. The top number says how many parts there are, and the bottom number says how many equal parts the whole is divided into. Example: /. The whole is divided into four parts, and we have one of them.
Geometry: A branch of math that deals with lines, solids, points, and their relationships to each other. It also covers flat and three-dimensional shapes.
Golden ratio: Often found in geometry, art, and architecture, the golden ratio appears when the longer part of something divided by the smaller part is equal to the whole length divided by the longer part. This number is approximately 1.62.
Graph: A set of points that shows an exact position. On graphs it is usually a pair of numbers: the first number shows the distance along an axis, and the second number shows the distance up or down.
Isosceles triangle: An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length and two equal angles. An isosceles right triangle has one 90 angle and the other two angles are each 45.
