Math Art grades 3-5

MATHS ART PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES My students enjoy these art projects. I like them because they review and reinforce math concepts. Most are not too time consuming, yet the students create nice material to display.

Math is more than worksheets

This book contains hands on activities for all the math standards. Whether you need to introduce a concept, re-teach, or explore a lesson further, this book will inspire you to bring creativity into math. Most activities require little preparation and materials. Photographs and illustrations make the directions easy to follow. Also included are ideas to extend the lesson, which can be beneficial for advanced learners or early finishers.

Math is fun!

I teach fourth graders, and my kids love all the activities from this book -- they look great hung up about the classroom! Art sometimes gets lost by the wayside, but this is a great way to integrate it!

good teaching tool

Wonderful book for any one working with children and wanting to find entertaining ways of teaching math concepts. The projects are all very do-able. Good for homeschoolers, teachers, librarians!
