Using the objectives defined by the rubric, reflect on the reading and the activity we did in class (I attached the blueprint art piece we did in class. Its a blueprint of my building and other buildings near Central Park)
Reflect the chapter “Puzzles of the Mind and Soul: Mathematics & the Arts” of the textbook Arts Integration by Merryl Goldberg and the workshop you experienced last week, “Blueprint for a Landscape” (which I originally designed for and taught to 1st graders).
Remember to discuss how the workshop would take place in an elementary school classroom by referring to the lesson plan and my video.
Make sure to include the following:
Describe the activity fully for a reader who did not experience it.
Include a descriiption of each phase of the activity, including the warm-up/introduction, main activity, and group reflection.
Discuss how learning took place during each step.
How can the arts help make math seem more accessible for students?
How can the arts be used to help students explore and more deeply understand mathematical concepts?
Connect the assigned reading to your reflection, and be sure to include 3-4 quotes.
Briefly describe how you will apply the ideas from the reading and the class activity to your future teaching.
Give an example of a future lesson plan that incorporates the ideas you’ve discussed.
(Remember that simply illustrating concepts with visual symbols does not use the arts for enhancement, it is merely diagramming.)
Make sure to submit your response as a .pdf so that I can correct it in Brightspace.
*A successful paper will use 3-4 examples from the assigned texts to support the author’s analysis (At least two must be from Merryl Goldberg’s book). You may also reference any of the other content in this module and the previous one, including my videos, the “Math Dance” video and text by the “The Dr. Shaffer & Mr. Stern Dance Ensemble”, The Radiolab segment on Paul Erdös, and the Art21 interview and video on Sarah Sze’s Blueprint for a Landscape.
