Please click here for resources about Inquiry Learning and resources that are not topic specific.

QUESTIONS and investigations:

• What Math lives in Art/Music/Painting/Dance/This sculpture…..?
• How are Math and Art the same/different?
• How does this (sample of math or art) use Creative/Critical Thinking?
• What is the relationship of play/exploration in Math and Art?
• Compare the meanings of balance/line/space/square…in Math and Art.
• Explore the use of tools (pencil, ruler, compass, grid paper, etc.) in doing both Math and Art.

MATHEMATICAL INQUIRIES AND INFORMATION that connect Math and the arts:

• Artful Maths
• #MathArtChallenge: Arbitrarily Close
• Indigenous Math Network
• Samira Mian’s Islamic Geometry
• M.C. Escher
• The Bridges Organization
• Fractal Foundation
• Youcubed Math and Art page
• Math Munch Math Art Tools
• Mathigon
• Coding: is a great way to explore Math and Art IF students are asked to think about mathematical and artistic concepts and principles as they code. See the Nelson video’s above and my Coding/Weaving/Math page for examples of how this can be richly done. MinecraftEDU has Math Worlds already created for younger students, Linx is great for ages 8+ before students move on to professional coding languages, like Python.

My Favourite #MathArt Lecture by Professor Edmund Harriss:

Don’t forget to check out the general inquiry resources on the Numeracy Connections and Inquiry Page. Here you will find resources to facilitate any inquiry.
