The #MathArtChallenge is just a fun, simple way to engage our brains during this time of unease. All tasks are low tech: paper, pencil, maybe string. Nothing fancy. I would LOVE to see what you come up with. Post on social media with the hashtag #MathArtChallenge!
THE CHALLENGE:
- Draw a polygon.
- Mark the midpoint of each side.
- Connect the midpoints of each side to make a new polygon.
- Repeat.
Don’t sleep on the quadrilaterals here. They do something rather surprising and beautiful!
MATERIALS NEEDED: Whatever you prefer!
The art and math teachers at our school, Whitcomb Middle School in Marlborough, are having our students do this challenge on Friday, 5/8. We had fun making our own examples and their work will be added! Thank you for all your great ideas!
