Teaching Strategies:

These cross-curricular art activities, combining math, science, geography and ELA, are a fun way for your elementary students to channel their creativity while learning!

They are great as extension or early-finisher activities, or given as take-home independent practice work.

This packet includes a choice board of 9 cross-curricular art activities for students, with clear instructions and lots of creative ideas for learning through art.

Students can choose from activities like:

Fraction Pizza

Draw a pizza with 8 slices. Sketch different toppings to show that the pizza has ⅛ of a topping, ⅝ of a topping, and 2/8 of a topping. Draw a key to show which toppings match the fractions above.

State Sketch

Choose one of the 50 states. Sketch its outline. Fill it with images of things the state is known for. Include drawings inside that represent the state’s weather, landforms, landmarks, plants and animals.

Multidimensional Drawings

Look around the classroom. Draw three 2-dimension items. Draw three 3-dimensional items. Use arrows to point out the differences in your 2 and 3 dimensional drawings.
