My name is Mr. Poole. This math lesson revolves around aestheometry, the art of making straight lines appear as if they curve. In this lesson, students use a ruler, compass, pencils, and card stock to create a unique design using a needle and thread. This lesson is highly engaging, allowing students to gain experience with rulers, compasses, and challenges them to follow a detailed set of instructions. My students really look forward to it every year. In this lesson I include step by step instructions, as well as two youtube videos that allow students to view the steps as I perform them. I also included a photo of a final project (both front and back). Hope you enjoy this as much as I do. It is one of my favorite activities to do with my students.
