This STEAM activity combines math and art and is inspired by the artist, Jasper Johns. STEAM activities help support your child’s curiosity, creativity, and innovative thinking. The inclusion of adding Art to the STEM core subjects is essential to encouraging your child’s creative and critical thinking. STEAM is the combination of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. I help busy parents and educators find time to raise creative kids through STEM, or what I like to call “STEAM” activities. SEE MORE AND TRANSFORM YOUR MATH TEACHING HERE. They are especially suited to children who don’t like math, lack confidence, don’t understand math the way they are currently being taught, or just want to play. These are the magic lessons where children really see, understand, and can apply math concepts. The lessons are easy for teachers and parents to use, in class or at home. I go around and write “I am” on the paper when they are finished (at this time of the year, I also write their name, so I know who the artwork belongs to).Fun Math is an easy to teach, highly effective math curriculum based on play and hands-on learning.Īll the lessons are designed to be fun and memorable, so children enjoy their lessons and feel confident. This is a fun way to connect to something the kids know all about–their age!ĭepending on your students, you could also talk to them about negative space (the shapes behind and between the numbers) or the little shapes made when the numbers overlap–all of these things could be colored. This is a number they ALWAYS know! If you are working with kindergarteners, they’ll be coloring in the 5 or the 6. ![]() I am sure you are already an expert on all of those things, so I trust you’ll take this idea and run with it.įor the last part of this lesson–and one that makes it look a bit like modern art–I have the students color in the number that matches their age. You could read them books about counting, colors, etc. You could give them all different colored paper. You could give kids different colors for each number. There are so many variations of how you could do this lesson. My SmartBoard looks like this when I am done. This way, any kid who doesn’t know their numbers will copy the “shape” of what you draw. We repeat this process for all 10 numbers. ![]() First, I draw the number, and then they draw the number. Then, using large paper (I like to use 12″ x 18″) and a marker (so they don’t get caught up in erasing with a pencil) have students write their numbers on their paper. ![]() If you are starting the school year, this is an easy way to assess who already knows their numbers (or who THINKS they do!). Have them take turns coming up to the board to write their numbers. This lesson is a simple, easy way to review, teach, or talk about numbers with your pre-k, kindergarten, or 1st-grade students.įirst, start by reviewing numbers 0-9 with your students. Pre-K, Kindergarten, and first grade are fun groups for integrating art into the curriculum because you don’t have to convince them that they are artists – they already know they are! They are eager to try just about anything that involves art materials. I love to use these artists to demonstrate to my students that something as common and familiar as numbers can be used to make art! ![]()
