This online unit study introduces learners to patterns in nature, the Fibonacci number series, the Golden ratio and geometric patterns found in famous artwork, architecture and mathematical puzzles. Connections are made with geometric patterns found in quilt work, stained glass and more!
This lesson guides learners through the beautiful wonders of common patterns found throughout nature. We explore circular, hexagonal, fractal and more!
Since ancient times, people have found great amusement by playing with, admiring, and studying soap bubbles. This live class explores how soap bubbles form, the mathematics behind their spherical shape, bubbles in art, and bubble performers, sometimes called bubbleologists.
Come on a journey exploring the magnificent and beautiful Golden ratio and Fibonacci numbers found everywhere in nature, art, architecture and more!

Say about MathArt
"Math has always been a cold, empty, meaningless subject to me. Now, (after taking MathArt), I realize that math is in fact, a helpful tool."
"One of my goals this school year is to get outside and discover nature more with the kids but putting together nature studies seems like such a daunting task lately. With NatureGlo's eScience (MathArt) unit studies the work is already done!"
“I have honestly never thought about how much detail there is in things in nature around me. I knew I always loved nature and looking at it but now I will stop and appreciate each detail a little more!”
"We fell in love! I especially loved that the courses all have sections that apply art projects with what has been learned. My daughter is hugely hands-on and loves art projects, so these were the best."
"My daughter loved the fun activities that reinforced the lessons. She was mesmerized with the concepts that were used in these cultures and couldn't wait to sit down and learn how they used math in everyday situations."
"My daughter and I appreciate the flexibility of being able to pick and choose from a variety of courses to create the perfect learning experience."
..."there was so much in the lessons we went through that even I learned along with my kids. We can't wait to delve in deeper."
"We got started (in MathArt) observing a beautiful bean mosaic which really inspired my girls to search out artistic opportunities with all sorts of stuff outdoors! We are heading to the beach tomorrow and they cannot wait to find shells and rocks to get creative with!
Every one of my kiddos, from the 5 year old to the 15 year old, found something that they were super excited about. I found a handful as well that I determined to complete with or without my kids. ha."
