mARTh Greek Symbol free since 1993

Hello! I am Brian Smith I teach grade 4 at Lexington Public School, and I love mashing one thing into another. You can find me at @smithwithclass #mARTh You can find these slides at http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS Add to Padlet at http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS 2

1. Pedagogical Impetus Why am I doing this? Padlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS

“Math is conveyed as a really hard subject that is uninteresting, inaccessible and only for ‘nerds’...” - Jo Boaler, Mathematical Mindsets Padlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS 4

The Battle I Fight That students are born with innate mathematical ✗ ability That parents use the phrase “That’s ok, I wasn’t ✗ good at math either” Colleagues, that through no fault of their own, ✗ perpetuate the idea that there are Math People Padlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS 5

Math == CREATIVE Math is messy. Math is language. Math is more. Padlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS 6

Let’s Try Something Padlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS 19

Week of Inspirational Math Attitude trumps quantity. Padlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS 20

3. Ideas mARTh in Action Padlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS

One Cut Geometry Problem solving at its finest. We identify strategies, even in problems that are difficult to solve. We also identify shape and line within the same project, and create 2 dimensional pieces of art. Padlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS 22

Geometric Frankenstein’s Monster Easy as identifying shapes in the art we make. The beauty of geometric constraints. The assessment is in the description. Padlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS 23

Stamping By Ten Quantity relationships are hard. Understanding what ten more is even more difficult when dealing with bigger numbers. We stamp, and stamp again. Using sponge carving to create 3D tools. Padlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS 24

Symmetry on Black Symmetry may be the easiest entrance to art and math. Any design that is symmetrical is pleasing to the eye, and creates a way to assess both math and art. Padlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS 25

Let’s Cut Fractals A way to create a three dimensional art piece that creates many entrances to assessing math skills, like estimation, multiplication, and problem solving. Padlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS 26

There are so many ways Find a piece you Apply the Have like Curricula Fun! Padlet: http://bit.ly/mARThFLOMACS http://bit.ly/FTLOMACS 27
