We combined the art technique of mosaic with our study of area. The kids created originals works of art using 1 inch squares and then figured the area of their art piece by counting how many tiles were used.
I am continually amazed at the artistic ability and creativity of my students. Each had a unique idea and title for their art work.
The mosaic art pieces from our class and Mrs. Eldredge's class (our next-door neighbors) made our hallway beautiful!
