The Geometry of Art Deco project blends artistic creativity with core math concepts like symmetry, transformations, and geometric shapes. Students explore the striking style of the Art Deco movement—known for its bold lines, repeating patterns, and sleek symmetry—while applying geometry concepts such as reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation. Students create their own Art Deco-inspired posters using graph paper or digital tools, reinforcing mathematical vocabulary and precision through
This engaging cross-curricular lesson combines geometry, art, and cultural history through the study of azulejos, the traditional painted tiles of Spain and Portugal. Aimed at middle to high school students, the lesson introduces key geometry concepts such as symmetry, rotations, reflections, and translations, all of which are commonly found in tile patterns. Students begin by analyzing real-world azulejo designs, identifying geometric properties, and learning about their historical origins
