4th graders "Math About Me" Dolls

Super Cute "Math About ME" Dolls...

I got this Art/Math idea from a teacher I used to teach with.  I did it last year during the first week of school, and I plan on doing it again this year.  They looked so cute hanging up for our "Back to School" Night.  :)

First, the kids picked three or more numbers that represented them somehow.  (birth date, number of people in their family, shoe size, favorite lucky number)  For example: if their birthday was on the 24th, they could write number sentences like 6X4=24, 4X6=24, or 12+12=24, etc...  

Then, they came up with number sentences to represent the numbers those chose.  I checked their papers, before they were given the nice final paper to make their picture frame boxes for their number sentences.  

Finally, they decorated a body shape to resemble themselves.  I think our "Math About Me" Dolls are super cute.  Feel free to share this idea, and have fun making your own!

    1. Sorry, I don't have a pattern. I will try and make one up. :)

      I just bought the little kid shapes from our Lakeshore store. Then the students cut out some clothes and hair from scraps of paper I had left over.
