We are working on patterning and math art this week for Camp Mathematics. Have you ever heard of spirolaterals? Yeah, me neither. I happened upon them while looking for a new math art project to inspire my kids. If you follow this blog ( hugs and kisses for you) then you are aware of my great love of using my kids' natural interest in math to encourage them to make art.

The great thing about spirolaterals is that not only are they gorgeous but in the process of making them, kids who love numbers can work on their skip counting and multiplication skills. Creating spirolateral math art also involves graphing and patterning so there is a whole host of awesome math and art integration going on.

Let's get down to business, shall we?

MY LATEST VIDEOS

What are Spirolaterals?

Very simply, spirolaterals are spiraled, structured designs based on a repeated series of commands using length and angle.

Clear as mud?

The way I explained it to my son is that, "we would use the times tables to create spirals."

Spirolaterals can range from very basic to elaborate, depending on the angle and number patterns used. The simplest type of spirolateral is a square - a 90 degree angle turn with a 1,1,1,1 sequence. ( See some more complex patterns here.) It sounds complicated, but once you understand what's going on, it's very easy and fun to do.

Watch the grooviness and then get the full instructions below:

Choose a number and write its multiplication sequence. I'll use 5 as an example.

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55

Now, turn it into a sequence of single digits by adding the two digits of each number together. For example 10 becomes 1+0=1, 1+5=6 and so forth.

5, 1, 6, 2, 7, 3, 8, 4, 9, 5, 1

Once you see the pattern start to repeat you can stop. So we would be left with 5, 1, 6, 2, 7, 3, 8, 4, 9 as our final sequence.

Now you are ready to draw!

Get your graph paper.

Draw a line 5 squares long.

Make a 90 degree turn to the right.

Draw a line 1 square long.

Make a 90 degree turn to the right.

Draw a line 6 squares long.

See the pattern?

When you complete the final line in your sequence, start over with the first number.

Repeat until the spirals connect back to the very first line.

Here's how to get started with multiples of 1:

TIPS:

With younger children, start with the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Some of the numbers make very large spirals. Graph paper with more squares per inch is better.

EXTENSIONS:

Compare the patterns of different sequences. Do some of them look similar?

Color in your spirolateral to make it snazzy.

Advanced kids can try 45 degree angles instead of 90 degree.

You don't have to use times tables, what other number patterns can you use?

All the photos of my son working on this came out lousy since we did it in the evening, but he had the cool idea to make each line a different color.

Now it's time to head over to Coffee Cups and Crayons to see how Megan and her kids explored patterns in nature!

Week 2: Magic Squares and Shake and Roll Math Game

Week 3: T Puzzle brain teaser and Grape Shapes

Where did I learn about spirolaterals, you ask? I look at a lot of math books for ideas and this is one of my very favorites for ideas that don't involve traditional pen and paper problem solving. (Affiliate link)
