Let’s combine math and art to develop creative thinkers.
This kit gives you everything you need to teach math-meets-art STEAM lessons based around circles.
With art history and criticism, geometry and cultural lessons, and hands-on art projects to explore the mathematical, artistic, and cultural properties of circles.
It’s so important to combine math and art
I’ve created this Art of Circles Unit to make it easy for you to combine math and art in your lessons.
By combining math and art you are encouraging your children to work at peak performance. They can put to work the ‘right-brain’ functions of creativity and holistic thinking and the ‘left-brain’ functions of focus and concentration.
When we work across the curriculum it allows us to go broader and deeper with our learning. We get to make connections. Our understanding is more relevant and our learning is longer-lasting.
Art and math integration in our classrooms makes learning accessible to all. It changes the atmosphere from one of rote, fact-based memorisation, to one based on discovery and deep understanding.
The projects in this workshop are hands-on and fun, and they preserve and foster the innate creativity with which we’re born.
With everything organised for you, with (simple) materials lists and lesson plans, The Art of Circles is an easy, inspiring, and fun solution to teach math with art.
Everything you need to teach art-meets-math STEAM lessons, all in one place.

About the author, Cathy James, B.A. (Hons)
I’m passionate about children having the opportunity to learn through hands-on, creative activities. I want kids to delight in what they’re learning and enjoy their childhood.
I’m the author of The Garden Classroom (published by Roost Books), Super Sensory Invitations to Play, and Art Spark. I’ve also worked in preschool, middle/high school, homeschool, and as a childminder, where my provision was rated as ‘outstanding’ by OFSTED.
With over twenty years experience in education I want to share what I’ve learned with you, so you can feel inspired, confident, and supported to give your children the best start in life. Let’s work together to deliver lessons that are engaging, impactful, and fun!
