o Math ~ Amanda LaTurner I liked this video also. Anytime we can connect the math content to real life is a plus for students. Many need a reason to know this is .... Perhaps we could have students learn about enlarging or shrinking in art and connect that to the math of similarity. They could use grid paper. One year I passed out cards from an I Spy game. The students decided on a new scale and redrew the image. Most went much bigger, but a couple shrank the image. They were very proud of their artifact. When I taught the lesson the art was merely an enhancement. If I had added the art objective, it may have been more meaningful.
