Description
Real Number System Project - Classifying Real Numbers Pixel Art
Students work independently on this Pixel Art Real Numbers project to show an understanding of how to write, classify and categorize rational numbers, irrational numbers, integers and whole numbers. This activity gets students thinking at a much higher level than your average real numbers color by number image because students must provide their own numbers to create the desired pixel art. First the students come up with rational numbers which fulfill various requirements. Next, the students color the image as a rough draft, the students then write their numbers on the final draft. Finally, the students trade with a partner to color the final draft and reveal the hidden image.
General information: For this project, students create a color by number pixel art picture of their own. Many teachers use color by number activities and although students can enjoy the relaxation of coloring, they most likely hate the lack of creativity. This project allows students to showcase their creativity while still practicing the skill of classifying real numbers. Each student creates her own pixel art on a five by five or ten by ten grid. After making a rough draft of the pixel art on graph paper, the students use numbers along with a key to create their desired image. The students write rational numbers, integers and whole numbers in various forms for their final design. Once complete, each student trades with a partner. The partner then colors the image to reveal the final project.
Project Pacing: The project is designed to be completed in two forty-five minute periods. However, the project may be introduced during class and completed at home.
Set-up/Materials: Each student should be provided with graph paper to sketch out and color ideas for the rough draft. Colored pencils or markers are needed to color the final draft and black pens or thin markers should be used to write the numbers on the final draft.
Topics covered by this project:
- Categorizing real numbers
- Writing rational numbers as a fraction
- Writing rational numbers as a decimal
- Using square roots and fractions to write integers
Included in this resource:
- Information for the Teacher (instructions/directions/ideas)
- Student Directions
- Project Rubric
- Two Pixel Art Grid Options (5 x 5 and 10 x 10)
Required/Suggested Materials:
- Colored pencils
- Black pens or markers
- Centimeter graph paper for the rough draft
