Art Integration in Math
Importance of Art Integration
More engagingAllows students to be creativeMakes the topic visual, which can be clearer
to students
Art can be adapted to any subject area (math, science, social studies, reading)
Arts Integration and Test Scores
Studies have shown that teachers who use art integration in certain subject areas have improved test scores (Ingram, 2003)
SUBJECT/GRADE IMPROVEMENT (points per unit)
Reading/3rd Grade 1.02 points
Math/3rd Grade 1.08 points
Reading/4th Grade 1.32 points
Math/5th Grade .77 points
How to Use Art Integration?
More integration in one subject than less integration in multiple subjects (Ingram, 2003)
Importance of Art Integration in Math
Researchers have found many congruencies with math and the arts (Bickley-Green, 1995)
Recognizing congruencies leads to more effective instruction (Bickley-Green, 1995)
