Making Math an Art
As a child, learning math often caused a lot of anxiety as I struggled with being overwhelmed by tons of numbers and word problems. I was always more of an artistic/creative student. I knew a lot of other students who dealt with this same issue, and still see it in the classrooms work in as well.
How can we pull out the beauty of math in our lessons? Or how can we be creative in teaching mathematics to draw in all different types of learners into the subject? |

As a student, I was more of an math/biology type of student, and on the opposite end of the spectrum, not being artsy and creative, it is hard to visualize a good representation of math in a creative way. I am more of a visual/audio learner though, so visual diagrams like pie charts and diagrams representing the word problem always helped me. I think adding visuals and diagrams, like those seen on trigonometry problems, would help those types of student a little bit. For me, math was always really interesting with science because everything seems to connect and fit like a puzzle to me. I think explaining real-life concepts that we use that type of math for could also benefit students. Again, not being a creative person such as yourself, it is hard to make creative and artsy representations of anything for me, though with your personality, hopefully you can bounce you ideas off of what I liked about math as a student. |

I remember using shapes and grouping my equations so I had a visual representation. I think using different colors is also beneficial to see differences in the equation. I would suggest whiteboard time so students can draw equations out. |
