![]() Art simply feels like play for elementary aged students, and using it to explore multiples and place value helps foster their confidence in their math abilities and definitely works to keep a multiplication lesson percolating. Visual learners, and even ELL students, benefit from making projects that allow them to explore mathematical concepts in new ways - and art is all about looking at the world from multiple perspectives. ![]() In the interest of finding new and artful ways to help teach children about multiplication, this post highlights resources that use art to enhance math instruction, increase student motivation and engagement, and help students tap into fun and creative ways to think about math concepts. My thanks to Christine Mingus for the original post. I've updated that information and included a number of new resources. In October of 2011, one of my students, now a highly successful classroom teacher, created an annotated bibliography on connecting math and art in the teaching of multiplication.
