"Circles and Stars" and connections

Ms Montilla joined us in Art with Ms Martina. She asked us if it was possible to connect Mathematics and Art. We tried to find out by doing a number talk and specifically using images to explain our solutions. Connections was the thought for the day.

This worked out well and students were also able to connect the use of numbers on the landscape that they were creating that day. Later on, we played the game called, "Circles and Stars" wherein we established a connection between addition and multiplication. In our reflection we added the connection that we made between multiplication and division.
