This resource aims to inspire learning about maths, through art. We’ve put together a powerpoint ready for you to use in school, or print out to use on a gallery visit to Modern One.

You can select the tasks that best suit your learners, try them in any order and adapt to suit.

Questions and tasks are deliberately open-ended to encourage learners to problem solve and think for themselves. We would encourage learners to make their own associations between the artworks and their lived experience, people, places and objects familiar to them.

Activities include: Tesselation*, Scale*, Favourite numbers*, Describing Shape, Symmetry and Pattern.

*At the time of writing, the artworks linked to these activities are on display at Modern One.
