Abstract

This chapter describes a mathematics and art camp week-long experience in which middle school students informally explore the rich connections between mathematics and art as extensions of the traditional curriculum in a non-graded summer camp environment to elicit creative thinking and joy in mathematics. The mathematics and art curriculum was designed with activities that are accessible to all levels of students and are presented in detail to allow other mathematics teacher educators to replicate this model. Reflections on successes and challenges of the program, the logistics of planning, and student outcomes with respect to the learning of mathematics, student agency, and social-emotional considerations are shared.
