Скачать или смотреть Is Math More Creative Than We Think?

What do art and math have in common, especially for kids? For most of my life, I’ve heard that these two concepts (and subjects) belonged in different worlds, but in this episode, we explore the intersection points between art and math and how one helps the other.

After discovering ingenious ways to understand math when she herself experienced difficulty with Grade 9 math, ‪@ms_mahal‬ started to grasp how easy math could be and realized others could be taught the same concepts.

Jennifer is also the author of The Shape of Roti, where geometry and baking collide to create a beautiful learning experience. As a bonus, children also get to learn about roti, a round flatbread common in South Asian cuisine. This episode is great for teachers looking for tips on using visual aids to teach math lessons. It's also great for parents looking for ways to combine art and math for their children.
