Does this involve the engagement level of students?

School can get very monotonous for teachers and students and I can see engagement soaring once students feel like they are being surprised.

The idea that something as subjective as art and as factual as science being intrinsically linked is so fascinating.

From the time children are first born they are learning about actions having consequences and this is just another important branch off of that subject.

By combining math and art in a visual and very colorful way it increases student engagement. The level of understanding the student will have by creating these shapes themselves will be exponentially higher than if the student worked with them theoretically.

If students are able to connect there learning curriculum with there life outside of school, they are more likely to remember it.
