This training can be applied to ANY math classroom where angles are used.

There is so much more than math and art packed in here. This lesson will teach your students about history, design, nature, speaking and listening skills, and language skills.

  • Learn how to use architecture as an art form to teach angles and other geometrical concepts.

  • Apply this lesson whether your students are learning to name angles, measure angles, or moving into trigonometric concepts.

  • Complete your own written artwork to test out the methodology before you teach in the classroom.

This lesson digs deep into art and angles and how they can be combined to create a fun and educational lesson that your students will remember.

By the end of this course you'll have the tools to equip your students to make art using angles and have the skills to talk about any work of art from the lens of geometry.

Lesson 1: Build Background Knowledge

The more background knowledge you have, the more authentic your teaching is. Imagine if you walked into a classroom and taught a scripted lesson on a subject you know nothing about...the students can tell! We're going to build your knowledge on architecture as an art form so you can communicate best with your students.

Lesson 2: Analyze Art

Frank Lloyd Wright revolutionized "American architecture" as an art form. Many of his designs include lines and angles because he believed the world was ordered by geometry. We're going analyze one of his structures as a work of art in the context of angles and learn how your students can analyze architecture for line and shape.

Lesson 3: Make Art

After analyzing Wright's structure, I'm going to show you how your students can make their own art using lines and angles based on the original artwork. They'll learn how to create and identify right, acute, and obtuse angles and parallel and perpendicular lines.
