What is a meaningful art project for 6th graders for an after math assessment activity?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Teach them about simple Euclidan fractals (constructing using reciprocal iterations of a single linear or quadratic equation), then have them make designs using crayons & multiple fractals? Or have them make snowflakes by folding up pieces of paper in a radially symmetrical manner, then cutting them. Or have them make simple abacuses out of, say, construction paper and pipecleaners. Flimsy abacuses. Foldable abacuses. The possibilities are endless. Or have them participate in an informal freehand circle-drawing competition. Or ask them to draw what they think the square root of negative one might look like. Or have them solve for pi. Over and over again.
