Math art projects are some of the most amazing and fun ways to teach math. There is so much math in art and so much art in math! Art and mathematics may seem an unlikely pair, but they are intertwined in so many ways. Each day there is a theme that combines math and art in a creative way. There are some incredibly talented bloggers joining me who will be sharing their own ideas related to Math Art. This is a book with more than 40 projects that bring art and math together in fun and creative ways.
They teach kids problem solving, creativity and innovation in real life ways. All of these projects were tested and loved by my own kids!
After a year of work, I am so excited that this book is finally launching. The week before it was officially released, it made the 1 status in new releases for Math Books for Children on Amazon! These projects all contain geometric patterns and geometric shapes. They combine shapes with numbers in creative ways. Make symmetrical works of art and patterns with symmetry by using some of these creative math art ideas.
Fine artists use math in their creations in many unique ways! I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review. LOL I requested and received a temporary digital Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley, the publisher and the author in exchange for an honest review. Get a real job, people! But I love art. This is a fun book to work through with the kids: the projects are well written and since it seems that STEM and STEAM are the future, it can certainly help with preparing for that.
Great book. Oct 31, Natalie rated it really liked it. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers. This book is bright and colourful and has some great basic maths activities for children to help them grasp concepts in maths. Ive a few of the activities that I am going to try with my little one as I think she will really enjoy them and get some good knowledge from them too.
Definitely a book to start off with a good baseline for learning in maths for children aged years of age. Nov 02, Erin rated it really liked it. Karyn Tripp offers a fun way for even math-averse kids to work on skills - with over 40 art projects! She shows how to incorporate math skills while learning about famous artist and art techniques. There are ideas for all ages here, but they tend toward grade-school age. Most of the projects use items you probably already have on hand paper, paint, scissors, etc.
This is a great one for homeschoolers and parents who are looking for fun ways to play with math! Nov 04, BookmarksandBookshelves rated it really liked it. The book is broken down into six sections, and each activity has notes about the math concepts which are in use. There are also about 10 pages of printable templates located at the back of the book, to assist with the various activities.
My favourite was actually section one, "Math with Fine Artists", where I found the activities used only basic supplies but taught great concepts with fantastic results, such as M. Escher's infinity triangles. I think this is a great resource for teachers and parents, with a variety of activities to chose from using basic objects from around the house. That said, many activities do require a a decent amount of preparation prior to starting creating a tripod for a pendulum and baking cookies , so I can see that some of these would be better suited to a home or small group environment, rather than a larger school classroom.
Of course, there are still plenty of options available using just scissors and paper too, so there really is something for everybody. This is a great book filled with fantastic activities to intersect math and art! I'm looking forward to trying out some of my favourites with my students. I think hand-on activities are the best way to learn and this book delivers!
Mar 07, June rated it really liked it Shelves: ng , artists , youngreaders. This book would be a good supplement to lessons in several subjects, which is nice. I liked the art history emphasis, although overall the projects are more of an early elementary level. Parents and teachers can get some great rainy-day activity ideas here, and the book design from Quarto is great, as always.
Nov 16, Annie rated it really liked it Shelves: netgalley. Originally published on my blog Nonstop Reader. Due out 19th Nov from Quarto on their Quarry imprint, it's pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats. We humans are naturally pattern seekers. Most people find symmetry, the golden ratio, Fibonacci series and the like almost universally appealing. It's -not- just math though; there are a number of neat tie-ins included in the units such as social studies, world cultures, fine arts, cooking arts and more.
The book also includes a resource list for further reading, templates used in the activities, and an index. The photography and illustrations are colorful and appealing. The tutorial photos are clear, illustrative, and easy to follow.
Each of the activities contains an introduction, tools and supplies in a bullet list sidebar, along with photos and step-by-step tutorial instructions. Alternative techniques and instructions are listed in "Try This" sidebars. I have heard way too many students saying 'I hate math' or 'Math is hard' far too often.
Finding fun ways to keep a learner's interest is key. The activities included in this book are interesting and entertaining and will provide hours of enriching fun.
This would be a superlative choice for classroom or homeschool library, public library activity day, or gift for a young person. Dec 17, joyce w. I once heard a Math teacher say, never tell your children that you can't do or don't like Math.
She went on to say that adults would not say that about reading. Learning Math and enjoying the process is so important and builds skills for a lifetime. In this book, the author takes on the challenge of making Math fun and challenging for kids as they learn.
The author notes that she did not love Math as a child. When she began homeschooling her children and heard similar sentiments, she began to move Math away from worksheets to activities. Using these more fun approaches, the author teaches math concepts including addition, subtraction, algebra, geometry and more.
This book is a terrific adjunct resource for parents and teachers. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review. Apr 17, Roger rated it it was amazing. It's a fantastic book The content is divided into 6 sections, and the first 4 are my favorites.
Many of these exercises help to visually and kinesthetically ground mathematical concepts that children find difficult to learn, largely because they have a degree of abstraction that is not easy to communicate.
The traditional educational system can use more memorization and logic. Karyn Tripp approaches the subject from a more integrative perspective, where creativity and logic converge, in which chi It's a fantastic book The content is divided into 6 sections, and the first 4 are my favorites. Karyn Tripp approaches the subject from a more integrative perspective, where creativity and logic converge, in which children can be relaxed, open to discover patterns and proportions, interconnect thought structures in such a natural and intuitive way..
I recommend this book for educators and parents who want to break the pattern of traditional education, seeking balanced development of both brain hemispheres in children.
My sincere appreciation to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book Nov 23, Annmarie Reddick rated it it was amazing. Some of the categories in this book are: math with fine artists, symmetry in art, edible art, and much more!
I really enjoyed this book and loved doing these activities with the kids I babysit. It was super easy to do and was fun! These activities are not only educational but they are also fun! I highly recommend this book! It is full of fun activities for children of all ages.
It'll make a great gift for the kid in your life. I will definitely be buying a copy of this book for all the kids I babysit! Nov 24, Leyla Johnson rated it it was amazing. I really love this book, as an adult it fun to do something with the kids that both of us will enjoy and maybe learn something from.
These projects teach without effort, they are so much fun and so easy to understand, without the pain. The book starts off with a basic "tool" kit and templates are provided at the back of the book - in between is what you mak I really love this book, as an adult it fun to do something with the kids that both of us will enjoy and maybe learn something from.

Dec 20, Rachel rated it really liked it Shelves: programming , nonfiction , art-and-film. This was a good starting place to get some ideas for a library program I am working on, and I've been on a Math Art kick lately so it goes together well with what I've already picked for a similar program.
I love the idea for M. Dec 14, Leah Horton rated it liked it. This book brings me back to elementary school. All the activities that helped to teach me math are in this book. They are fun and educational. Pretty much everything needed is either easy to find or you should have. It helps to teach children basic math while they have fun.
Dec 06, Rachel rated it really liked it. This book is filled with over 40 fun art projects! I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with kids!
Nov 21, Sabrina rated it liked it. A bit of art history and lots of very different activities to explain maths concepts. These seem fun for parents or teachers to do with children and will help them become comfortable with basic maths principles.
My favourites were the optical illusions. Nov 25, Hannah rated it it was amazing. This is a great resource for teachers looking to provide a deeper understanding of math and teaching cross curricular. There are great activities that ai could see using after a unit or as a precursor to a concept in math. Oct 10, Kate TerHaar rated it it was amazing Shelves: read , 5-stars.
