Video Description: How do art and math intertwine? For sculptor Gregory Booth the answer is “in all sorts of ways.” Geometry teacher Gregory Booth has been expanding the minds of students for the past 20 years. But during his own high school days, Booth was passionate about a very different career path: art. Despite a decades long detour into his other passion – mathematics – a deep desire to create never left Booth and he recently began sculpting again. Not surprisingly, a mathematical theme began to emerge in these new pieces and he began to share his work with his students as an example of how numbers create shapes which become art.

• For Discussion: What is student response to the art seen in the video. Is it something they would like to create? Is it something they would purchase? Have them evaluate the art using both principles of art as well as their personal preferences.
• Activity Idea: Use the video in conjunction with an activity that has students creating an art piece inspired by, incorporating, or in some way using or reflecting a mathematic principle, concept, equation, etc.
