Arty Maths - Learn Maths in a Creative Way!
Art is a fantastic tool for teaching mathematics. Activating the "artistic" parts of the brain stimulates creative problem-solving strategies. Over four sessions we will look at a different artist and use this to integrate the learning of geometry and number.

Class content
Session 1
75 mins
Design our own Piet Mondrian style picture using geometric shapes of squares and rectangles using his minimalistic primary colour palette. The students will be challenged to include specific geometric shapes to consolidate their learning of 2D shapes, perimeter and area.
Session 2
75 mins
By interpreting Wassily Kandinsky’s love of circles in his artwork, we will produce a piece of art that will incorporate the features and mathematical vocabulary of a circle. The circles will be drawn using a compass and their dimensions will build on the students knowledge of decimal place value.
Session 3
75 mins
Pablo Picasso used a variety of geometric shapes in his works of art, but triangles often featured in some of his most colourful pieces. By reviewing the different triangles and their attributes (including angles), an abstract design will be made inspired by Picasso’s colour and originality. A compass & protractor will be used in this session.
Session 4
75 mins
Fibonacci (Leonardo da Pisa) brought attention to the magical and fascinating world of mathematics and nature. There are patterns all around us! In this session we will create a spiral pattern inspired by Fibonacci’s number sequences, (including primes and square roots).
