They also think of the ways great artists have employed these concepts in their depictions of objects and spacefor example  Picassos use of geometric shapes in his Cubist still lifes or contemporary artist Tara Donovans room-sized sculptures of everyday items. In their new book Object Lessons  Caren (a math educator) and Lynn (an artist and art educator) use a highly visual approach to show students and teachers the art in math and the math in art. Integrating visual arts into math experiences makes the lessons accessible  engaging  and meaningful for a wide range of students. In each chapter  the authors use everyday objects to create rigorous  hands-on activities that address key mathematics standards and concepts. Each lesson provides:  an introduction to the featured object that explains how it connects to key mathematical concepts;  a discussion of the artists  art styles and techniques featured;  activities organized by grade level and math content area;  the basic materials required to prepare and teach each lesson;  a clear picture of what the lesson will look like in a classroom; and  a list of resources. The book and its online support material (available on Routledge.com) feature a wonderful gallery of imagesincluding art photos and student workand a collection of links to art education organizations  museums  and Web sites that focus on the work of forty major artists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652001325109,"sku":"ByrdShop_1571107967","price":37.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781571107961.jpg?v=1781848157","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/object-lessons-teaching-math-through-the-visual-arts-k5-9781571107961","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
