Art has so many unique ways to teach math concepts as well as show each children unique creativity. There is also problem solving that can be taught by mixing colors to get new ones. Lets say a child wants to use purple paint but there is no purple paint then problem solving comes in as the child tries to figure out what colors need to be mixed together to get purple paint.

Math and Art are a great combination to learn! It will help children to get creative but at the same time will make them think and recognize numbers, patterns, sizes, shapes and quantity.

Using colors to explore math was meaningful and enjoyable. It applied problem solving skills, shapes, lines, portion, matching and much more.

I believe art to be the core of expressing creativity in kids. Using it in math will not only inspire kids to more art, it will also help them to understand math more easily.

Awesome, using art with math is so much fun. My children love mixing colors together by measuring with teaspoons for example, one teaspoon of red with two teaspoon of yellow makes the colors orange.

Can you do the same with coloring sheets?

I like how it was tied into art and other activities in the classroom. Sometimes bringing it from other areas of the classroom day can be a great way to continue to allow them to learn.

I love the idea of using painting to help develop math skills and language. Each fall our class paints pumpkin shapes at an easel. I always use this opportunity to help introduce new math language to the children. We talk about how pumpkins are round, if what they are painting is big or small, tall or short, etc.
