Math & Art Project-Based Learning: Piet Mondrian, Fractions, Decimals & Percents

Created by

This unique project combines Piet Mondrian's art with a mathematical project. Using this product, students investigate Mondrian's art using the "See-Think-Wonder" routine from "Making Thinking Visible. They estimate fractional amounts of color on Mondrian-inspired examples, and measure the artwork using 100s grid overlays. They also create their own Mondrian-inspired art using specific fraction amounts. Next, students learn how to turn those fraction amounts into decimal number representation
