What other teachers say about Circles with Kandinsky:

  • My students enjoyed the cross curricular connections in this unit. I used it as an independent study for students who had already demonstrated mastery of classroom content.

  • I had my 6th grade students complete this as a workshop-style extension activity from our regular curriculum and they had a lot of fun with it. They liked being able to do something that wasn't just math problems or extra practice and I liked seeing them apply their skills in different ways.

  • Enjoy all resources from this shop. Work well for differentiation.

  • This was really cool to use with circles. I used this as kind of a review...so we just did the challenges and not the more guided practice. I loved how they got to be creative!! Plus it was nice for them to have to estimate and not be able to find exact answers. It brought up a nice discussion. It was super cool!! Thank you for making this!!!
