Parabolic Curve Art

Create mathematical art with curves that, well, aren’t curvy.

Gr 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8

Looping Grid Art

Pick a few numbers, draw some corresponding lines on grid paper, and you’ll end up with some interesting, looping math-y art!

Gr 1-8

A Lunar Survival Mission

A favorite of mine! This task is delightfully complex and ambiguous, forcing students to make choices without enough information and with no right answer. How will they survive on the moon for three days?

Gr 2-8

Art Lesson: One-Point Perspective

Let’s give our students an art history lesson while teaching them how to enhance their drawings using one-point perspective.

Gr 1-8

Art Lesson: Two-Point Perspective

Let’s get students’ art really popping with two-point perspective!

Gr 1-8

Self Portraits: Pointillism

Turn your students into a bunch of Monets with q-tips and some tempera paint.

Gr 1-8

Content Imperatives: Parallel

Get students thinking broadly by exploring similarities across multiple topics. Combine with Depth and Complexity for bonus points!

Gr 1-8

Content Imperatives: Contribuition

Pull on one thread and watch the whole topic move. Contribution asks: what single factor is quietly shaping everything else?

Gr 1-8

Depth and Complexity: 📈 Trends

Has something been changing recently? What might be causing that? What are the effects?

Gr 2-8

Depth and Complexity: 🏛️ Big Idea

Let’s get students thinking big and focusing on more abstract ideas.

Depth and Complexity: 📚 Across Disciplines

No topic is an island! With the 📚 Across Disciplines prompt, students note connections within and across multiple fields.

Gr 1-8

Depth and Complexity: Patterns

Can your students spot anything that repeats? Or that has stopped repeating?

Gr 2-8

Disneyland Parking Tram Math Project

A full parking structure. Thousands of people. Trams that hold a few dozen. How many trips? Real math with a place kids actually care about.

Gr 1-8
