Description

Back in the early 2000's, I was a burnt out private elementary school teacher tired of dragging my students through the latest math curriculum fad my private school chose. I was weary of seeing sad-faced learners when I passed back their math tests covered in red X's. I was frustrated by the typical math learning grind we were expected to drag our students through from Kindergarten to 12th grade. I knew that math education could be better through real life math connections, but, I didn't know how to change how I taught math. Yet. After all, I was a product of my own industrial math education programming. 


LEARN MORE ABOUT MATHART.

Enter Don Tolman. Don Tolman, known as the whole food cowboy, is a health and wellness teacher and brilliant educator. He came to our school to do a seminar on health and wellness and holistic education. He floored me when he showed us beautiful connections there are with nature and mathematics through mysterious numbers. Those mysterious numbers are the Golden ratio (1.618) and the Fibonacci numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 24, 34...etc.). These numbers are found everywhere from ancient to modern architecture, Fibonacci spirals found in a sunflower seed head to the numbers of petals on a daisy.

Don sparked a realization in me that I could create a new, exciting and inspirational math learning experience for K - 12 education connecting math with the real world. I set out on a 7 year research quest that led to the creation of the MathArt online program which has served thousands of home and school educators since 2003.


MathArt is a mathematics history unit study STEAM learning adventure that can either replace a math curriculum, especially for unschoolers, or compliment any math curriculum.
