Abstract
We believe that all students should have the opportunity to confidently and creatively engage in mathematical thinking in the classroom. We design experiences that integrate art and mathematics, and hence, foster a strong sense of ownership and investment inside and outside of the math classroom. We will share lessons from our practice over the last seven years in engaging school and local communities through these integrative experiences. Furthermore, we will guide participants in creative lesson design that can be introduced into their curriculum.
