Math Art Projects:All Classes – Due Tue/Wed May 28/29th
Students have been introduced to the Math Art project.This will count as two test grades in the project and activities portion of their grade.
I have gone over the kinds of art that they can do.I have hand outs on how to do each kind of art and examples in my classroom.They may also propose other things to me if they like as long as we can figure out a way to make it math related.
For most of these topics I have hand outs for students.They are to come to next class with their “art proposal” ready to show me – showing that they have committed to a certain type of art and have made a real plan of what they are going to do.This is what we will be doing next class.When they have given me their proposal and I’ve approved it – I will give them their paper.They will be able to work on this in class all week this week.As soon as they have completed their project they m ay turn it in to me.Final Due Date All Classes – Due Tue/Wed May 28/29th.
