Super Tie Dye Fun

 Today's lesson was the wonderful world of fractals and sharpie tie dye. We had so much fun creating these beautiful designs! 

A Great First Day

What a wonderful first day at the Crafty Math Lab in February. We learned about the wonder of circles! Everything from diameter and radius to the wonder of chords. Then,  we got right to the crafting. We made beautiful headbands and necklaces from flowers made of circles! The felt was flying and we couldn't believe how the time flew by. Can't wait to introduce next week's project!

So much to craft, so little time!

A very fun mess...

Our creations!

 

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our demo lesson at The Bookmark Shoppe! We had a wonderful time and hope you did too.

Or better yet, send us an email to tell us you'll be joining us and bring it next Wednesday to The Crafty Math Lab. We really hope you'll spread the word and join us next week. Let the crazy amazing crafting begin!

Welcome to The Crafty Math Lab!

Educators Karen Peters (M.S. in Ed. and developer of The Accessories Club at Visitation Academy) and Susan D’Auria (M.S. in Ed. Adolescent Mathematics) have teamed up to create a unique approach to exploring the connection between Art and Mathematics. The program strives to engage children with hands-on projects that encourage creativity while demonstrating the need for Mathematics outside the classroom. 

Why is this a perfect after school activity?
