Gingerbread House Tessellations: Math Meets Art for Holiday Fun
A creative STEAM activity has been developed, combining math and art through gingerbread house tessellations. The Christmas Gingerbread House Tessellation, created by artist and mathematician Craig Kaplan, offers a printable for a fun and educational holiday project.
The activity begins with printing and coloring the gingerbread house shapes. Once colored, participants cut out the houses and use them to create tessellations - intricate patterns formed by arranging the shapes without gaps or overlaps. This process encourages creativity while teaching children about geometry, spatial relationships, and symmetry.
The gingerbread house tessellations can also serve as a unique Christmas math activity. By exploring tessellations, children deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts in an engaging and artistic way.
The Christmas Gingerbread House Tessellation activity offers a printable that transforms basic shapes into intricate designs, promoting both artistic expression and mathematical understanding. It's a perfect STEAM project for the holiday season, combining fun and learning.
