Weaving the Arts Into Math Curriculum

Abstract

ABSTRACT In January 2019, third graders at Penns Manor Elementary used known math skills and new math skills to draft a pattern and dress a four harness loom to create a woven wall hanging. Twelve core students learned the basic skills and then taught their peers and classroom teachers under the guidance of teaching artist Sandra Trimble. It turned out to be a very successful exercise in integrated learning for the third grade and the whole school.
