Draw Plus More Math: Enhance Math Learning Through Art Activities

Children learn through all of their senses.

For visual and kinetic learners, concepts such as fractions and ratios are more accessible when presented as a drawing lesson. And learning to see patterns in art and nature is in fact a mathematical skill; understanding and exploring symmetry reveals patterns that help organize the world.

Draw Plus More Math is a continuation of Draw Plus Math at a slightly more challenging level. Concepts presented include radial and other symmetry, complex patterns, tangrams, tessellations, circles and triangles, geometric solids, simple fractals, ratio, scale, and proportion.

The lessons in Draw Plus More Math are based on learning goals outlined by the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
