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!
That is an adorable idea!! I would love to do that project for Open House. Thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks Lisa! :)
DeleteWhat a fabulous idea! These are so cute! These would look great hanging outside of our classroom for Parent Teacher Conferences. I am a new follower.

Do you have a basic pattern for the person that you would share?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't have a pattern. I will try and make one up. :)
DeleteI 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.
