Thank you to the awesome teachers on Pinterest who came up with this idea! You saved us last week when we needed a fun community math activity to review fractions, perimeter and area. Cut out a bunch of colored squares, get some art paper and you're ready to go. The kids made self portrait mosaics and then found the perimeter, area, and fractions that would make their art piece a "Math Mosaic." Sweet!
Those are so cute! What a great idea.

DeleteThese came out so cute! I did something similiar with my class inspired by the Pin on Pinterest. My kiddos just made a variety of things: logging truck, swords, flowers etc. and they did perimeter and area too.

My middle school students just completed this activity for our 100th Saxon Math Lesson party. I too created a hallway BB. These fraction people are just too cute not to share. I linked back to your blog. Thanks for sharing! I found you on Pinterest and enjoy your blog - all kinds of cuteness :-)
