Students created flowers inspired by the Fabric Designer Anna Maria Horner. 1st, they used painted paper and created a circle- circumference with 8 pieces of paper. They laid their pieces out in alternating colors and added a crescent shape to complete the flower. Lastly, they added pom-pons to the center and matted it to another sheet of construction paper. What a beautiful product and the math concepts of circumference, diameter and radius are complete! The 5th grade teachers love that I cover this every year! :)
These are so lovely. I'm going to try a similar lesson this term - thanks for the inspiration!
