Learning to Love Math

Episode 25 | Here's What Happens When You Mix Math, and Art


Listen Later

Imagine if you opened every math lesson by having your students draw a picture.

Do you think that your math instruction might be more effective and engaging if you did that?

We definitely think so!

In this episode, Caroline from Doodles and Digits shares ways to make math more visual for students.

Thankfully, you don't have to be an artist to mix art and math in the classroom.

Today's Takeaways

  • Everyone benefits from a multi-sensory learning approach
  • When you make math more visual, it makes more sense
  • Word problems come alive with pictures
  • Authentic and accurate clipart is important when making or buying visual supports
  • Ensure math word problems are relatable and culturally relevant to students
  • If you'd rather just get some quality visual supports instead of making your own, click here to follow Caroline from Doodles and Digits on TeachersPayTeachers!

    Members of the Mini Lesson Sub Club get three mini lessons per grade (3rd-5th), per month.
