Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lessons contained in this unit are very open-ended and adapt well to integration with math. Concepts such as symmetry, parallel lines, converging lines, tangents, geometric shapes, fractional parts and angles can all be introduced, explored, and made part of each lesson. Each lesson details step-by-step directions, often involving easy-to-use geometric templates or "tracers" to create an image. One preferred strategy is for the teacher to demonstrate the steps with students following along creating a "rough draft". This allows students to make mistakes and practice the various techniques insuring a better final product. This Art and Math lesson provides a teacher and student section with a variety of step-by-step student projects and evaluation to create a well-rounded lesson plan.
