ARThematics Plus is a comprehensive resource book that combines art and math to create engaging and educational experiences for students and teachers. Developed by Stefanie Mandelbaum and Jacqueline Guttman, this book offers a wide range of math art projects that explore concepts such as shapes, symmetry, proportions, and more. With explicit lesson plans and a focus on NCTM Standards, ARThematics Plus aims to help students understand the connections between math, art, and the larger universe.
Published in 2003 and updated in 2015, ARThematics Plus is a valuable tool for educators in grades 4-6, although the lessons can be easily adapted for other grade levels. Each chapter provides an overview, materials list, math-art activity, and follow-up tangents, along with glossaries, illustrations, and additional resources. By using art as a medium, ARThematics Plus makes abstract mathematical concepts more accessible and encourages students to explore the relationship between math and the world around them.
