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)
