Visual learning is the street corner where art and math intersect. Pictures convey information and ideas. We all know the old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” but we could add to that. A picture is also worth many math concepts such as geometric shapes, patterns, relative size, relative quantity, position, sets and groups, symmetry, and data from graphs and glyphs. Creating lessons with these concepts can help students enhance their math learning in a fun way. It’s also a great way to reach students who are visual learners or who are struggling with traditional ways of learning.
Draw Plus Math: Enhance Math Learning Through Art Activities is an excellent educational resource for parents, babysitters, caregivers or teachers to share with children ages six and up. All the child needs is a pencil, an eraser, paper, and colored pencils to add finishing touches, and he or she is ready to create drawings of foods, objects, and animals that reinforce basic mathematical concepts. From simple counting, to the concept of symmetry, to identifying patterns, very basic fractions (dividing a pie into halves, thirds, or fourths) and more, the exercises in Draw Plus Math are a fun way to reinforce lessons through hands-on experience. Highly recommend.
This is just such a great combination of skills to be learning together. I'd recommend this book!
