Exploring the Math and Art Connection: Teaching and Learning Between the Lines is a recent publication by Daniel Jarvis (Nipissing University) and Irene Naested (Mount Royal University), two education professors with expertise in teaching art and mathematics. The book is intended as a teaching resource for educators, especially at the elementary level. It is built on the principles that both mathematics and visual arts provide valuable tools with which to understand the world around us and that connecting the two disciplines can enhance students’ appreciation and understanding of both.
