Curated OER
Create a Resist Painting
Students examine the development of resist dye techniques in Japan, Indonesia, and West Africa. They discuss textile decorations and patterns, view examples of batik and dye resist art, and create an original resist painting.

Let the Matrix Do It
Students create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...

Making Puzzles
Students create their own puzzles. In this visual arts lesson, students follow the provided steps to create their jigsaw puzzles made from card stock.
Curated OER
Spiders' Wheel
Young scholars engage in a lesson which reinforces the concepts of clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation, while developing an understanding that angles are measured in degrees. They utilize a mathematics educational program to gain...
Curated OER
Odd Thing Out
Students listen to the math problem provided and work in groups to solve. They think about the objects and write down their information in a table. Class construct the table on a large piece of paper that can be put on the wall after the...
